the barefoot bard Poet Rhyme

writing verse

Two years ago,I was encouraged by some friends
and also by my wife
To write some memoirs,
some description of events in my life

Two hundred hand written pages 
in two years, since this project began
Since self discovery that I was capable of writing verse, 
 for six months the memoirs have sat idle, I compile poetry as quickly as I can
 
With this new poetic skill I am still able,
 to record the aims of the memoirs, but in a precised form
Poetry I feel,  provides  a non confrontational platform,
when one wants to present controversial opinions, that deviate from the norm

I am regarded as an elder and I hope the definition,
 includes wisdom not just age, I still wish to remain open and continue to learn
In the hope I am able to assist others 
 an objective, I never will adjourn
