I write in a genre

Oft misunderstood

I’ve tried to explain it

The best that I could

These aren’t just words

That float in my head

They are my soul

Releasing instead

The passion inside me

Pounding deep in my heart

I am a writer, a poet

And my words I impart

On all who will listen

This is my true devotion

Flowing out from within

Like my endless emotion

pen-428266_960_720I am an artist

Whose paintbrush

Flows with the ink

Of pictures written

On a canvas bare

Letters in perfect symmetry

Romancing the palette

A portrait in verse

Wide Awake – A Poet’s Lament

Why am I
So wide awake?
I went to bed
For goodness sake!

I shut the light
And close my eyes
And pray the sandman
Won’t pass me by

My mind’s still going
It’s on a tear
I toss and turn
And get nowhere

It’s no use trying
With all my might
A poet never sleeps
So I get up and write
