#poem #poetry #new-version Live the Poetry Words: © Steven Cross 2025 I’ve got rhymes that Dr. Seuss never wrote But you can feel free to quote ‘Cuz I usually get ignored by busy bees Influencers, complainers, and other parties It ain’t easy being a poet in times like these But just like Bluey’s dad said: “I’ll tell you that for free.” I try not to get addicted to sentimentality People try to read me like a book But mine is a mystery You think you know me Please! I don’t even understand me Who or why am I? To be, or not to be? Existential questions possess me! Maybe one day in eternity I’ll sing truly: I was blind but now I see But for now I live the questions As Rilke said poetically And I say stoically: Live the Poetry!
