Why?


Someone once asked me,

Why do I write?

Why am I poet,

Why it's part of my life.

My answer is simple,

My answer is this:

Poetry is my way to speak out. 

Something other's tend to miss. 

It's a thing of beauty. 

A thing of wonder.

Something usually lost.

In the day to day blunder.

Why am I poet?

I've told you why.

Join me, write a poem. 

Express yourself, don't let it pass you by.
