And So I Write
An ordinary start to a new day;
I sequence words in verses on a string.
It seems best that I keep the subject light;
I truly don’t have very much to say.
The wise would bridle tongues, but here’s the thing:
I rarely am accused of being bright,
and so I will not fault if you don’t read
or give a voice to them and try to sing
my childish verses, vacuous and trite.
For me, at least, it seems they fill a need,
and so I write.
