Of Poetry in the "First Person".

I have talent - by my own assertion-
And it seems that lately, many more agree;
Though writing chiefly now in the first person-
Is that person I now write of - really me?
Far be it now, for me to cast aspersion -
On many (or even any) of my deeds;
For it is merely all "poetic license"-
" I'm " the poet that the critics cannot silence.

I hope the fun police never confiscates your licenses also. And though I have only read this poem of yours it does seems you do have talent. Just an observation from a humble southern Floridian.
