The Most Popular Poet On The Internet

The Most Popular Poet On The Internet - Surely Not?

Well I know it is a bold claim but A Gift of Poetry (http://www.agiftofpoetry.com and http://www.giftofpoetry.com) receive 1,000's of visitors every day, literally millions of visitors every year. So, that is my claim and I would like to be proven wrong, but am I The Most Popular Poet On The Internet? Please tell me of a more popular poetry site that only features the poetry of one poet. I look forward to hearing from you, in the meantime I will bask in the absolute glory of claiming to be The Most Popular Poet On The Internet :o) But not the fastest marathon runner...

What If?

Allen's First Poem After 20 Years - Questions For Middle Age

What If?

What if my hair falls out
and I end up bald as a coot?
What if I don't make budget
and he hires a smarter suit?

What if I get so fat,
I can no longer touch my toes?
What if my wife left me,
for a younger man she chose?

What if my boy is gay
and likes the look of a bum?
What if my girl is also that way
and never becomes a Mum?

What if I saw my doctor?
And he said "You've got the big C",
and what if I was run over,
walking out of his surgery?

What if they pressed the button,
on every mortal soul?
What if there was hell on earth,
when man played his final role?

What if there is no heaven
and it's all been a big bluff?
What if there is a heaven
and I wasn't good enough?

What if it's all been for nothing,
but to procreate?
Well, I've had such a lovely time,
I'll just put my trust in fate %u2026
