The Best Poem You Ever Read

This is a poem by an Internet poet, I don't have his real name, I let myslef copy this poem directly from the publishing website, Poetry Buffet, It's really good, telling us that the best poem any of us has read shoudn't neccessarily be one of a great poet, It could just be written by our own hands, as no one knows us better than ourselves, The poem's title is "The best poem you ever read"

The best poem you ever read,

Is not necessarily by Thoreau

Or for that matter Keats or Shelley

Or Edgar Allan Poe

It might not be amongst the

Dusty books there on the shelf

The greatest poem you ever read

May just be written by yourself

Did you ever write a poem?

That just made you softly sigh

Or was there one that emotion

Made you bittersweetly cry

Is there one that was born to you?

That made you wholly believe

Words weren't born long time

agoYou yourself can conceive

This poem that I am writing

Is not the best there ever was

But few poems can do for me

What my own poetry does

When you think of Percey Shelly

And when you think of ole John Keats

Remember theirs is their own

Even if

You wish to match their feats

I hope the poetry you respect

From which have made you grown

I hope the greatest poem you ever read

Was one you call your own

The End (sentiment)
