An Honest Appraisal
So many years writing about many things
it's amazing to think about them all
many subjects covered as poets do
fighting within as the thought lines brawl
Dry spells occur making one wordless
one asks where are they all gone
for a moment in time so many aplenty
then like a desert full of sand at dawn
But thankfully been encouraged to pen
overcoming every doubt that crosses my way
finding that rhyme that I so do love
this is my route at present this day
But there again there's always a doubt
how long can I continue using this pen?
one day it shall end either far or near
maybe the words will dry up now or then
(This is my honest appraisal of where I feel I am at as a poet, leaving behind the work of 'divineink82' having reached the 2000 mark and beginning afresh as 'Fair Sunshine' not knowing how much longer I'll go on, it's all in God's hands under His direction and leading)
