Reassurance

What do you think
someone will read
a poem you compose
what is there in it

It becomes a habit
a need to satisfy
What you look for
in words you find

Everyone has likes
and some dislikes
it may be rare
to like a poem too

But you have to write
it may be a trite
as that's what you like
to make you light

It happens sometimes
things come out right
and someone appreciates
what you write

One thus waits
as one writes
to be reassured
that it's not all waste!
