Unsolicited

I like my poem the way it is

But thanks for your suggestion.

I do not plan to use it but

It brings to mind a question –

 

Is unsolicited advice

A help or just annoying?

Perhaps it’s good if someone’s spirits

Are in need of buoying.

 

Or in a case I read about,

An expert made a sighting

Of a mole on someone’s neck

Where cancer cells required fighting.

 

In certain cases, butting in

May help a situation

And those on the receiving end

May feel appreciation…

 

But in a poem, a typo’s

A correction that it's needing

Yet all advice beyond that

Many poets won’t be heeding.
