People often offer input 
On how to write or
The mood of the written piece
Make observations and
Offer suggestions on
Different forms and styles

I know there are students
Studying under the direction
Of teachers who do succeed
In producing a form
Such as sextinas which
Is six verses of six lines each
Which don’t rhyme.  They
Are collected, graded and
Put into a chap book
That no one reads, but
None-the-less exposed to
Success in this process
  
These young poets
Go on as self-declared genuine
And proceed to teach others
While furthering their own careers
Some self-publish and
This makes them important
And who they are

I thank my critics, but go on
With my own unique style of 
Emptying my soul on paper,
Using an uninhibited flow
I have not published, but 
Some of my efforts have been acclaimed
