I know it, I'm a poet
How fun to carefully choose words set to rhyme
(I don't usually talk like this all the time)
I became a poet to share my Thought--
I am told I'm "thoughtful"; I think a LOT
I joined PoetrySoup, to organize
my memories, ponderings, cut to size
And here I found a whole community
where all our speech is used to set us free
A welcoming place to say how we feel
as feelings untangle, our wounds may heal
Our comments never put each other down
(even sad Ophelia would not drown)
Perhaps books of my poems will never sell
but I'll go on opening my heart, to tell
This is our time, to tell fiction, write true
later, folks will read to learn what we knew
