Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

And That's How It Began

I was an awkward teenager
  seeking her truth
My friend and I would write
  love poems about our heart throbs
The pen indeed back then 
  remained my most trusted confidante

Years went by I grew up
   and life got crazy busy
The old poems laid stashed
   somewhere in a forgotten corner
It wasn't till I retired that
   I happened to be at a poetry reading

I listened most politely while
   squirming at how it was simply horrid
That's when I decided
   to dust off and revisit my oldies
I then found a site online of
      likeminded poets
           and never looked back
