Why Write Poetry?

It occurs to me from time to time

To wonder who will find my rhyme

Which sneaks onto the Internet

With no bright lights around its neck…

 

Unconsidered trifles fire my pen;

They pop up in my sights, and then

As though I’m running a fast race

Words jostle to fit into place!

 

I make no claim to magic skill

It’s just I make words rhyme at will

This hobby is such fun to share

And connect with YOU - out there!

 

We’re all plagued with too much ‘stuff’

And crisis-ridden news is tough

So, poetry is just my way

Of coping with the world today!
