Song of a Runaway Poet

Oh my.. I just looked around the soupbowl,                                        
there are so many names I don't know.                                                                           
I am now a stranger here,                                                                                              
where I was ones a dear.                                                                                       
A ha, I am just kidding,                                                                                                      
when I know I have someone reading,                                               
every short lines I manage to scribble,                                                                                              
when the syllable rules become too hard to dribble.                                  
Yea, it has been quite ages,                                                                                             
i just found myself in some necessary cages.                                                                          
I wanted to be here and I truly tried my best,                                     
but I couldn't do little work and leave the rest.                                   
Okay then, I just want to say hi,                                                                                                     
to you all, from this heart of mine.

and yes, I know your feeling. I have not gone anywhere and yet many many names are so new and strange. Too bad they don't stop and visit the other poets so they could become better known to us!
