How My First Poem Was Born


childhood’s dream remains
flashing its grandiose image
with me and Jesus
riding on His green bike was
my first mount of crafted words

Interesting take on this contest... I see the bible and Jesus were very influential in your journey with poetry.. My first poem was about a friend.. All the best for the contest..

Thank you so much again for reading my poem my dear poet freind SO. Yes, dear poet friend SO. As far as I remember, that's the first inspiration in my poetry birth. Sorry, so hard to compose a lil bit now, I just came from another mourning of a loved ones/ relatives: March, April (2 loss), Nov. then Dec.

Thank you so much for reading my poem my dear poet friend Paula. I'm ok now and thanks God for strength and comfort. We lost a loved one again recently, the one who is so close to my heart, a relative who is so loving and kind and one of my inspirations in poetry. He is my poet uncle. He is now in heaven:((
