You know them. Those poems that step forward without introduction, fully suited and booted, and often in response to a posting. I take a particular delight in them, as they can be shared without any sense of vanity. They do, after all, write themselves. Our part is simply to introduce them to a wider audience with a childlike sense of sharing.

I have seen lots of these ‘found’ poems on this site, and would be delighted to receive your (short) re-submissions, so please, share them again. I am sure many others would like to see them too. Add their context if you think it important.
This is mine from yesterday. He seems a charming fellow.

Truth,
Not always dressed
in its Sunday Best –
sometime ragged
but just as true.


And as always, please keep it friendly :)
