I Chose To Be a Poet

When I started my writings I didn’t know that much; But, as I began to write, I learn to know so much. Let’s say I knew a thing when I got featured, my poem; I knew what rhyme is, but my heart has its own anthem. Writing is not that easy, which made it hard to meet All the poetic forms, if I always see, but a white sheet. Yet, I knew that if I will try, I will lose nothing; I tried. So I wrote this very short poem, a senryu thing: a bride. That you took joy reading it, making me smile and proud; The way I see myself now, I’m a poet, with a voice: loud. If I chose to be a poet, sure I wouldn’t be in a losing end; For a poet never lose, but certainly, wins a heart. A trend. At least now, I know how and what to write. I learned. I’ll be writing sonnet today, for yesterday it was tyburn. You see, I learned a lot, through the help of my God; And you, my love, His blessing to me when I was sad.
