So Cool To Write

Writing has become for me
such a real favourite pastime
it's brought peace deep inside
no stress to feel ain't no crime

Thinking back to my school days
really like composition writing then
but got no encouragement to pursue
forgot about it just wait for when

That when arrived years later
when a friend said try to write
poetry maybe your vital link
this proved so cool and right

Looking back to pleasure known
gained perspective of beauty indeed
focus eyes on many poetical gems
gain inspiration for words to speed

Your friend was right ... you write poems spontaneously ... at least so it seems to me ... this one is nice to read ... I'm coming across your poems this evening after quite some time ... a pleasure ...
