The Poet That's Me

I have trouble writing in free verse 
As though my Minds stuck in reverse
Every time I think of a rhyme
It is defiantly writing time

That’s something that will cause a stump
The rhythm can’t go bumpity bump
I am a simple country girl 
Few fancy words go in the whirl

Not ignorant or uneducated
Just to my life style dedicated
 I write from what is in my heart
Experiences that I played a part

Of faith and love and family
The things in life that we all see
The end result will be of my best
Anything less isn’t worth your request

It took me longer get Microsoft word open 
than it took for me to get my first line typed
Approximately 3-4 minuses from start to finish 
but I type 24-30 per minute due to physical 
and visual handicaps
