Listen to poem:
My Story
Who will listen to my story?
It's not a tale of great defeat
nor one of fame, nor one of glory --
and I won't pretend that it's complete.
I've time to spend, still, on this earth
and things to say until I go.
I won't begin before my birth
or dwell too long on friend and foe.
I won't recount the passing years
or bore with lists of groundless fears.
As I review what I've just said,
I doubt that any who have read
up to this point my minor rhyme
will want to waste too much more time
while I expose my life's excess,
when all they need is to address
the short list of the poems I write
to post upon this useful site:
visit poetrysoup.com for you to see
much of what you'd wish
to learn of me.
