Just Posting

They say if you post poems,
to put your name below 'em,
for praise or for blame
or just to show 'em...
that you had time to waste
on something so sans taste.
 
Not all of them are that way,
just this one here, for today.
This is not an Ode,
I didn't go down that road.
I have no story to tell,
I'm just ringing my bell.

But you know, I still had fun,
my thanks to all of you,
keep writing ... gotta run.

Wow! Robert that is so true! But another way to look at it is; If we don't let out that God given creativness into word of poetry or artistic form of some kind------it will bottle up and spu out like the devil at just anyone..... Really liked this one...
