Writing For Myself

Woke in night writing poetry,
and I do this a lot;
Grabbed a pen and piece of paper
so that I could then jot;
Down some lines, not that great,
but mean a lot to me;
Hope that I can capture some
internal magic key;
Don’t care if readers love them,
my ditties are for fun;
Cause in the end I really write 
for readership of one.

It pays to keep the pen handy at night. If you don't, many idea evaporate with the dawn.
