Jack Eldridge Poet Rhyme

Drivin

After years of contemplation 
It came to my attention,
The reason for my infatuation 
With the poetic art.

Was it the challenge of the rhyme 
Similar endings all the time,
Or the hope for recognition 
For what I could impart?

Or was it the desire to give birth
To  thoughts of joy and mirth,
Exposing my imagination 
And some of my heart?

While these all are partially true,
It’s the freedom to share with you
Through my own implementation,
Means I’m Drivin’ from the start.
