This Fascination With Words

How did it happen
This fascination with words
with phrases, with rhyme
And why?...
Why doesn't it occur to everyone?
Why to just certain guys?

I came back to writing poetry almost 25 years after giving it up - I don't ask why, I'm just glad I found it again!

Yeah, me too. Just thought the question would stimulate thinking a bit. Smiles, Gershon

That's a question many ponder, Gershon. However, I'm really glad that it occurred to me. I can't imagine my life without writing. It seems to color everything. A great poem! Blessings
