"Labels"

I write
I share
Without a care.
Not quite true.
I choose
What I perceive
are my 'good ones'.
All said and done
We all crave praise
And it's nice
Albeit a somewhat
Alien feeling
To be told
That your poem
Was quite good.
Even so...
I'm not so sure
How much of a compliment it is
To be told by a mate
That I'm like
An 'urban Pam Ayres'!
I think I'll stick to
Calling myself a
Working class poet!

Dulwich Poet 18th October 2013

(A mate at football told me he doesn't really read poetry, but doesn't mind reading some of my stuff that I share on Facebook. Not too keen on his description of me though!)
