A Little Secret

I have a little secret That maybe you should know Let me whisper it in your ear Let me get real close Promise me you will keep My little secret please Promise me you'll never tell Pinky promise please This is my secret desire I want to set the world on fire Afire with my words and phrases Receiving so much love And heartfelt praises I want my words to continuously amaze Affect with each line With each turn of phrase This is a silly impossible dream I know My writing will not get me off skid row It will not make me rich It will not make me known But a dream is a dream And I must let it flow

You and I share the same secret :) Do you mind if I ask how long you have been writing poetry?
