Though self professed poets in their numbers do grow
Who is or is not a poet cannot say i would know
Even experts on poets and poetry on this disagree
Each to their own opinion is how it seems to be
In twenty first century poetry blank verse is the in thing
And the praises of non rhyming poets the literary critics do sing
Rhyme it was popular up to four decades ago
But that time brings with it changes happens to be so
Even though there are rhymers in every town
Most of them do not even know of local literary renown
Novelists and journalists far more popular than poets in the literary World of today
Though having that said it was not always this way
And no shortage of self professed poets in the World is how it seems to be
On who is or is not a poet ask one other than me.
