Poems

                                    Poems can be written in many ways,
                                    Some are quick to create,
                                    Others take days and days.

                                   To be inspired over a certain theme,
                                   Can help the creative process,
                                   And the writing then, becomes a dream.

                                   Or better still, with no theme at "beck and call"
                                   You suddenly find yourself writing madly,
                                   About nothing at all!

                                  Personally, my poems have to rhyme,
                                  Don't ask me why?
                                  I guess it's something to do with music and time.

                                 I love to hear the words match,
                                 Making the writing more difficult,
                                 But oh! magic, when you hear the click and latch!

                                And when the poem's done,
                                What satisfaction to sit back,
                                And re-read the birth of yet another son!

                               I don't rhyme for folks to judge or see,
                               I write to explore and have fun,

                               It's part of me.
