Why I Write Poetry

I am clear we each have our own reasons. Maybe to be a hit, perhaps to be accepted? It really has nothing to do with the seasons. Most assuredly,painful to see your poems neglected. I came here to leave my family a legacy. I am not here to be a trophy nor a contest winner. The family legacy is of paramount significance to me. Only to pen that which makes their souls glimmer. When they read it, and they like it, is all that my soul doth need. To expect more, is a waste of my precious energy and time. Then, that poem to me,is a real hit, indeed. To expect,anything else, is a poetic paradigm!               2/1/2021                  ~ 2 ~
