From Thoughts To Paper

I like to write poetry, for my mind it soothes
If my writing is read, hopefully i have reached out and introduced me
 
My writes are in rhyme with a dabble of others
Its an apprenticeship i am in, more learn-ed i become
 
I write at my desk on my laptop and PC
Browsing for information to add credence to my work
 
My writing follows no agenda its as free as my words
My portfolio of themes comes from inspiration of many
 
I may see a picture and words grace my eyes
If i read a poets poem, their words can induce an idea
 
So when you read my work, its from the recipe above
Its more than a hobby now, its something i love
 
 
My entry into Deborah Guzzi's " How DO You do it??? contest "

You made quite an impression on me, James, from the very first time I read your words. You understand the nature of a poet's heart and the inspiration we all receive and you convey it beautifully in this poem. Wishing you luck in the contest, my friend. Much love, Carolyn
