Writing Poetry

Whimsical, witty, and poignant

Reaching in deep from the inside

Impacting as many as I can

True to myself and emotions

Including everyone in my audience

Never compromising on my artistry

Gratitude for my readers and their feedback

Plenty of poetic forms to choose from

Originality is critical

Empathy builds up my imagery

Time spent creating it all

Realizing I’m doing this

Yet I have much more I want to create…

To Write or Not to Write

To write or not to write

Surely a dilemma day or night.

To rhyme, in free verse of haiku

Just not sure what to do.

Finding the words that fit the best

Always puts us to the test.

Just like braving a wild river in a raft

With little else to fall on but our craft.

Syllables, rhymes, beats in mind

Putting them together can be a bind,

Shear determination is the rock

In the battle of writer’s block.

Just keep going, working hard

Hoping it’s met with high regard.

Ending lines, make them clean

Or else your poem will never be seen…
