I Write On - and On

I write on my pets, most often my cats.
I think I may even have written on rats.

I write on God’s gifts that in nature are found.
I write on things based on sight, smell, and sound.

I write on great landscapes, on seascapes and sky,
especially on sunsets that dazzle the eye.

I write on almost everything that I know of.
I think in particular, I write on love.

I write on romance, some made-up stuff too;
I write on things mostly that I think are true. 
 
I write on emotions, on evil and hate.
I write on TV shows and food that I ate!

I write on opinions I’ve formed through my life,
my joys and my trials (like being a wife).

I write on my feelings and sometimes on grief
and often I write on how life is too brief.

I write on my friendships, my children and kin.
I write on some topics again and again!

In conclusion, on paper I write while in bed
scribbling thoughts coming to my pillowed head.

Andrea, poems about writing and composing these works of art are always fun to read (and to compose). There's some humor in how we create...the various forms of inspiration and things that prod us. You really do write about just about everything, and you do so much I can't keep up! Anyway, I'll attempt to catch up right now. Making comments actually takes more time than preparing a piece of work....OMG!!! Hope you are well!
