Paula Goldsmith Poet Rhyme

Why Did I Become A Poet?

Quote By Poet: "I like to bring my imagination out in writing so you can bring your imagination out in reading."

Books call my name,
the bookstores are not to blame.
Writing books and poems give me joy,
better than a brand new toy.
My imagination and creativity I can see,
when my red blood turns to ink as the blue sea.  
Poems can take a voyage with me,
or be as crazy as a yellow bumble bee.
Writing poems gives my heart peace,
as my emotions find a release.
If it wasn't for my poetry drive,           
why would I want to be alive?
