Grandma- My Motivation
My grandma has been my motivation,
she helped me with her fortitude;
teaching me poetry in our solitude,
'till my writing could not be subdued !
Writing poetry has been my salvation,
it is a hunger- a need and wish;
but holding a word is like catching a fish,
you think you have it and it goes swish !
Grandma said write it- make a worthy creation,
so, I write of my life honesty braving;
oh, I can write on any theme poetically raving,
or with sadness write about a grave engraving !
The life of a poet is full of deep frustration,
night dreams help me to calm my thirst;
while during the day in penning I am immersed,
oh, this poetry writing urge cannot be reversed !
Not creating words now- would be starvation,
I can hear Grandma whispering write it;
even in the moonlight- just don't quit,
until you can press transmit and submit !
