April 30 Poem about poetry

April 30—Poem about poetry

Why Do I write 
These poems every day?

Why do I spend so much time
Writing down these verses
That few will ever see?
Why do I bother?

The only answer is because
I must write daily
My inner muse compels me
And I have to write down
These mad thoughts.

And share them 
With the world 
Even if no one reads them
Other than my wife
And some of my friends.

I have no choice
That is what I am. 

I am just a writer,
 And a mad poet
At heart.
