Said Al Juman

Said Al Juman 
This was written in September 1975
I am the said poet.
I wanted to stand out
and so what if I do?
Are you jealous?
Then find your way.
I write because I was privileged with a pen.
It's not golden or silver
studded with diamond.
but it's a little of something to someone
especially me.
My work is like that of a stone carver
chiseled in.
Sorry! Yes I brag
and proud of my effort.
So do you.
I am the said Poet.
Bite me.

I got goosebumps reading this poem, I'm bitten by your style Al, am adding this little gem to my faves - I didn't start writing until nov 2013 when my hubby had cancer surgery, no gold pen for me just a humble pencil and my laptop. I especially love , it's a little of something to someone especially me.' :-) hugs Jan xx

Ha ha, I like how you ended this. A bit of irreverence adds to the feel of this piece.
