Not Good Enough
I wrote a poem
for you today
just as a million
poets have done
before this one
words of love
spilled onto paper
pain and joy
desire and fear
all for you,
but my love
just as a million
poets have done
before this one
I crumpled it up
and tossed it away.

You should never throw them away because at times going back with a different perspective makes you realize that they were better than you thought!

I am a huge fan of love poems, so I went for this in a big way. You did a fine job with the tone of this poem, the hopefulness, the fear of rejection.
I missed the punctuation, but no big deal. Very fine writing.

excellence and a loving smile Here Hash...I think many Writes look better without those pesky eyelashes and such...plus lets a reader pause where they feel is right for their particular rhythm...always the goods Sir!!!
