I Write Because -

Sometimes I can't do the math
Sometimes I can't find the path
Sometimes I'm feelin' the wrath
Sometimes I forget how to laugh

Because I feel colors and hues
Because I must walk in your shoes
Because I must lay down my blues
Because I got nothin' to lose

You did very well, Tim, with this tagging thing. I didn't even know to say WHO had tagged or that I was supposed to put underneath it who was being tagged by ME .had to ask! Glad you liked the sonnet. LUv, Andrea
