I sit here trying to write
A poem to please the readers
Tapping keys to make a line
And then deleting most of it
The words are not coming
They don’t seem to fit
Tapping, tapping only in hope
That i’ll get a sign of wisdom
Maybe a cup of tea will help
Or a break to watch the football
The tapping is over
Its now complete
At last i can relax
So i’ll post it and see
What all the readers think
Waiting their judgement
Reading their comments
Be they good or bad
I love this Harry! And there is certainly no judgement.
And what is more I know exactly what you mean!

I heard a saying once that inspired me led to write the poem below to help remind myself of the wisdom in the message. I don’t recall the wording of the original saying now or who said it because I just wrote the poem a minute ago and had read the saying quite awhile ago.) I think the last 3 lines of my poem are exactly as the person who coined the saying said them (but they weren’t on three lines). I’d like to give credit to the person who wrote the saying, so if any of you know who it was, please let me know.
What You Need To Say
Never try to write what
You think people want to hear
Don’t try to please your readers
That’s not the way, my dear
If you want to make a difference
Write what you need to say
Because that’s the only thing
You’ve got to offer anyway

Thanks for your comment Russ, it just came to me sitting at the pc one night.
I’m not a poet, i just like poetry and humour poetry is my favorite, you should read some of mine there 
But you have given sound advice.
our own judgements are almost always harsher than our readers…but on that note I think you express well the angst almost every writer feels putting something out there and in part we feel like we ourselves and not just our writng ajudged…kudos
Thanks Timothy
Quite general inner heart feelings, I think so.
Thank you very much
