Why Do I Write Poems

Why Do I Write Poems Poems start out as poems in my head; Become few words then on paper are fed Right into a poem to become its first line That I always do love and think is divine. All great poems are from me of course Just like a marriage for better or worse Words meeting each other that do meld And then together they all have jelled. Always so smooth as all of the flow Like a watery cascade wanting to know Just how long will water have to wait? Until it finally forms a gaseous state. Each thought returned back to my mind All trying to seek another way to find And reshape into another style or form Depending on if weather is cold or warm. With many other poets I then tried to consult And guess what turned out being final result? The deeper into poem you read it indicated By myself, my own poem was vindicated.
