How I Began Writing Poetry Accidentally
I was frustrated at work about seven years ago.
A painter, cartoonist, and scrabble player, where next would I go?
I needed something new to do.
Not sure where to start.
Suddenly feeling bored with my own art.
We were required to stay until seven that night.
Parent Teacher Conferences, but I stayed out of sight.
Being the counselor, seeing me makes them blue.
That is something I did not want to do.
Suddenly the word poetry came into my head.
I used to write short stories, now they lay dead.
I had not written anything since I was twenty-nine.
I found a poetry site and began typing poems online.
One poem, two poem, three poems, four.
I liked doing this, but I wanted to know a lot more.
I zoomed around the site and found types of poems and tips.
I have no more story; this is simply it….
