A poem on writing
for that’s what I do
I write out a poem
to share it with you
I write about love
and I write about wishes
Cool summer nights
and warm tender kisses
I write about things
that are close to my heart
Just like my last poem
“I’m ready to start”
(Shameless plug)
I write about tears
and heart broken sorrow
A sunset tonight
and the sunrise tomorrow
Sometimes they are funny,
sometimes they are sad
And sometimes I lean
very close to the bad
I write about flowers
and gardens and trees
Hummingbirds, butterflies,
a soft flowing breeze
I write about stars
and the moon in the sky
The sun and the clouds
every day passing by
I write about snow
and I write about rain
A couple of times
I have written of pain
I write about oceans,
the waves and the shore
Sandcastles, seashells,
footprints and more
I write about music
on violin strings
Guitars and pianos
and melodic things
I write about hope
and I write about dreams
Walks out in nature
near slow moving streams
Won’t write about hate,
don’t like to cause trouble
I run from the subject
real fast, on the double
At times I am goofy
and act like a fool
But never use cuss words
to make me look cool
I don’t write in anger
or feature religion
Well, maybe sometimes,
perhaps just a smidgeon
But mostly I write
as thoughts do occur
And always those thoughts
seem to linger on her
I write so she smiles,
I write so she knows
That I’ll always love her
no matter what goes
I write my affection
so she has to see
That there is no other,
no other for me
I write from the heart
in hopes she will feel
This love that I send
and know it is real
For she is my angel,
my every desire
All I’d ever want
and all I require
So there now you have it
the things that I write
I hope you enjoy what
I’ve shared here tonight
And one final thing,
just a little note
Real soon I'll stop by
and read what you wrote
