    "POET AND DIDN'T KNOW IT"

     I GUESS IT ALL STARTED WHEN I WAS A CHILD,
    WHILE OTHERS PLAYED GAMES,,,,,,RHYMING WORDS DROVE ME WILD.
    LIKE FINDING THE PIECES OF PUZZLES THAT FIT,
    I MATCHED WORDS TOGETHER, TO SEE WHAT I'D GET!

    IT'S NOT ALWAYS EASY, IT USUALLY TAKES TIME,,,,
    SEARCHING FOR WORDS THAT MADE SENSE WHEN THEY RHYME.
     
    AS I GREW OLDER, SOME COMMENTS WERE MADE,
    COULD I MAKE SOMETHING OUT OF THESE WORDS THAT I'VE PLAYED?

    I TOOK IT MORE SERIOUS, MADE SENTENCES THAT MATCHED!
    THEN I FOUND I MADE "POETRY",,,WHEN "WORDS" WERE ATTACHED!

    I REALIZE TODAY, WHEN FEELING DEPRESSED,
    MY WORDS WROTE ON PAPER.,,,CALM ME DOWN WHEN I'M STRESSED.

    LIKE "DRIFTING" AWAY, I ESCAPE FROM IT ALL,
    I'M "PAINLESS", I'M "CAREFREE", I'M NOW "TEN FOOT TALL"!

    SO,NOW MY EMOTIONS ARE WROTE ON A PAGE,
    LIKE MAGIC, RELEASING MY "TENSION" AND "RAGE"!
    "REQUESTS" STARTED ROLLING,MY "ADRENALIN" RUSHED!
    COULD THIS BE A TALENT?, FOR YEARS I'VE KEPT HUSHED?

    SHARING "MY WORDS", BECOME MY GREATEST LOVE,
    FROM WHAT I AM TOLD,,,,IT'S A GIFT FROM ABOVE.
    MY MAMA ONCE TOLD ME THAT I HAD A "GIFT",
    I HAD WAYS WITH MY WORDS,,,,,,,THAT MAKE SPIRITS LIFT.

    MY "POEMS" HAVE TOUCHED MANY,,OVER THE YEARS,
    SOME WOULD BRING "LAUGHTER", SOME, A FEW "TEARS".

    WHEN "POETRY" IS READ,,,,,,IT'S LIKE LIVING YOUR DREAMS,
    ANYTHING'S POSSIBLE, AS HARD AS IT SEEMS!

    IF I CAN ACCOMPLISH TO MAKE SOMEONE SMILE,
    I'VE ACHIEVED ONE MORE GOAL,,,,IT'S WORTH ALL THE WHILE!

    SOME MAY SAY "POETRY'S" JUST FOR THE BIRDS,,,,,,,
    BUT WE WOULD'NT HAVE "LANGUAGE", IF IT WASN'T FOR WORDS!

    LIKE MAKING A "JINGLE" WITH WHAT WE MIGHT SAY,
    TO TOUCH SOMEONE'S HEART, IN A WHOLE DIFFERENT WAY.

    I'LL CONTINUE TO WRITE DOWN MY "FEELINGS" IN INK,
    IF IT MAKES ME FEEL GOOD,,,,,,, WHO CARES WHAT THEY THINK!

          I'LL NEVER BE BORED, AS I TRAVEL THROUGH TIME,
    IN A WORLD FILLED WITH "POETRY",,,SIMPLE WORDS THAT I RYHME.

    IS IT REALLY SO "CRAZY" TO DO WHAT I DO?
    IF IT HELPED YU TO "COPE", WOULDN'T YOU DO IT TOO?!

    THERE'S TIMES I'LL GET LONELY, SO, I'LL PICK UP MY PEN,
    AND IN JUST A FEWS "WORDS",,,,I'VE GOT "FRIENDS"ONCE AGAIN!!...

    Once again.....Perfect. You have a way with words that I hope one day I can master. I can only write poetry when I am motivated and it just comes to me, I can't force it that much. Thats why I don't think I could write a poem like this....about poetry. Well I guess thats what motivates you. For me, now a days, it is love and loss that has been on my mind

    lucho my friend, anyone can write words on paper, but poetry is from tjhe heart and soul, its reall rather simple, someone gives yu a topic of their life and somehow it just comes to! i tell yu what yu can do, send me na topic and story of yu or someone else and i'll see if i can make it into poetry to yu ok? its just playing with words i guess yu can do it too! so my friend send me something and i;ll see if a poem can be made ok? thx again,carol

    Again, loved the rhythm, loved the rhyme, made me think of an easier time. I too love words, and write down my pains, my joys, and it makes me feel the same. But still I must ask at the risk of being obtuse, when you where young did you read dr. suess. Loved it. Write on......

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
