I Write . . .


 

 I write poems because . . . I enjoy the challenge!

Trying to rhyme words that well, just don’t rhyme.

Have you ever tried to rhyme with the word ‘awkward’?

Or non rhyming words such as orange?

I write poems because I enjoy the challenge.



 

I write poems because . . . I love art!

No one can tell me that poetry is not an art.

Perfectly sized stanzas and melodic rhythms,

Creative license to write what you want.

I write poems because I love art.



 

I write poems because . . . It’s my voice.

The written voice that comes out of me;

The me that can only be understood by reading.

A tool used when wielding paper and pen.

I write poems because it’s my voice.
