I Could Not Write The Poem I Dreamed

I COULD NOT WRITE THE POEM I DREAMED

I could not write the poem I dreamed
I wrote the poem I am -
A minor poet? No poet all?
Only what I can-

No one cares and no one reads
And no one knows my name
Yet I continue writing my words
And playing my happy small game.
