One belongs to the following groups:
! Creative Writing & Poetry ! and All Things Poetic, Artistic, PhilosophicalI will not be written about in textbooks or studied in classes
Nothing large and ostentatious will be dedicated in my name
I will not make the front page when I visit a small town
My work will be worth the same amount when I die
But
If I can change one mind
Elicit one giggle
Start one discussion
Give one smile
Then every word I write is worthwhile

I do local poetry readings every month or so and I use this poem to sort of answer the question of “why are you here?” It works pretty well.
Thanks for the kind words.
