Why Don'T You Just Write a Poem Down

throughout the last fifty eight or so years I went off for a walk, most of my life, it seems, until I thought, why don't you just write a poem down. Why not, I always did feel like I had something to say. I was always only as good as I am when I was pushed to pursue but you know some days are not / situated And other times why would anyone even attempt to rhyme, poetry is not about rhyming words, I thought It was about appealing to how it feels to be alive And it's quite strange / it is fabulously unreal I think as I look up as I look down as I find my absence in this world was less than apparent to me / all this time. Peace!

Hello Dave McGahan, so nice to meet you. We poetess and poets should write done ideas we get to create a poem. if we do not write down our ideas we would never have a poem. have a nice evening my friend.
