Writing


When I put my pen on paper,

everything else falls away.

I'm in my own utopia,

where there is no night and day.

 

Once I start, it's hard to stop,

my hands keep movin’ round the clock.

Imagination keeps me goin’,

I'm always ready to write and rock.

 

I thank my family for this passion,

it all started with a few books.

Now, I find myself obsessed,

as they pull me closer with their hooks.

 

When the words start to flow,

I hurriedly jot them down.

They could be about anything,

a feminist hero or ghost town.

 

I'm not big on grammar,

my vocabulary is not that vast.

But, honestly, I don't care,

because, to me, writings a blast!

I have been writing poetry since the end of seventh grade (7 years ago). My poem "Mother Earth" was entered into the A.R. Ammons Poetry Contest and was elected Honorable mention. After that, I went to a virtual workshop with the incredible Mrs. Jackie Shelton Greene, Poet Laureate of North Carolina, getting tips on my writing. I have written over 30 poems, some good, some bad, and some worse LOL. But, overall, poetry helps me to express myself and is just a beautiful way to deliver words.
