'part Time Poet'

7/2/2019 First I thought I was a writer, But that took way too much time and effort as a fighter. As a fighter for time both day and night, All of those words I needed were just out of sight. As a poet I have now become, I will be known as a short writer's drum. Drumming out words of joy, And having all kinds of fun with my new toy.

Thank you for debuting your sweet rhyme with our community. It needed to see the light of day. If the short stories are just as well done, you will be pleased I am sure.

"Writer's drum", Spectacular scenery. Wonderfully written. Ann (and you still have to write books, not letting you squeeze by...)

You have a very unique style. It is playful, and light. We need more of that. I wish you could bottle and teach, "funny" as you do it well... some sure need a bit... hugs. Ann

I love, absolutely love this - especially the connotation of the thoughts and feelings of a poet being a 'short writer's drum'. Added to my favourites.

I am so glad my writer's drum added a beat to your day. Thank You, for reading and writing your notes back to me. I need time to read more of your work.
