Why Do I Write Poems

Why Do I Write Poems


Poems start out as poems in my head;

Become few words then on paper are fed

Right into a poem to become its first line

That I always do love and think is divine.


All great poems are from me of course

Just like a marriage for better or worse

Words meeting each other that do meld

And then together they all have jelled.


Always so smooth as all of the flow

Like a watery cascade wanting to know

Just how long will water have to wait?

Until it finally forms a gaseous state.


Each thought returned back to my mind

All trying to seek another way to find

And reshape into another style or form

Depending on if weather is cold or warm.


With many other poets I then tried to consult

And guess what turned out being final result?

The deeper into poem you read it indicated

By myself, my own poem was vindicated.
