Best Hobby Poems

I love to sketch with a pen and ink;
to feel the flow of the lines that I think;
 as they pour their way down my arm to my hand
and softly on the parchment land.

I love to sketch the shadows deep,
as from hand to pen point...

My love affair began - as I recall -
when mother read to me. What golden times!
Enchanting fairy tales and nursery rhymes
had planted fancy’s seeds when I was small.

Then through my youth, I’d almost daily spend
the time, my nose inside a fiction book.
To find me, someone...

Writing poetry 
Is my hobby 
It gives me joy
And happiness 
Nothing ever can

There is bliss
There is solace
In creating something 
Unique and beautiful 

In poetry there is life
And in life there is poetry
 
Inspiration is anything 
People, places and things

Poetry is art
A great form of expression...

Happy am I while I sit
On my sofa while I laze
By myself with my laptop
By my lap while I watch
Yeah, anime and manga is dope.

A source of entertainment
Necessary in my life as an enjoyment
In fact, it takes my time
Make no mistake though
Excellence is the word...

I heard it so many times,
“Books are man’s best friends,”
Not just that I wrote an essay of 300 words in my secondary school,
Yes I read it in the book, ‘How to write impressive and ideal essays?’
Honestly speaking, it was out of no choice,
As the other...

Sorry Yulli, it was little unfair to suggest the title
You’re only 23 but I promise to leave room
Heck by that time, I was on my 4th heartbreak
Walking on one of the girl...

I shouldn’t live in the past but I’m not just expressing myself
I’m over myself
I promise not to stay there too long but the pain makes everything high definition
Never in the back always a leader, I was the first swimmer in the pack that made it...

Trade-off
in the school yard-
soccer cigarette cards
equals five stones plus my sixer

I need a page break
If you keep reading you’re about to catch bird flu
It’s changing seasons all around you
Sit back the words are causing your body to react
You feel like a woman going through menopause
Cold to hot
Pause for a moment
Did I ask for your opinion?
Wait!...

BOBBY'S HOBBY

I have a grandson named Bobby
Who started an expensive hobby
I shopped all the time
And spent my last dime
Now I feel like I own Hobby Lobby...

There's a path I always take
down to the river where the woods
are dressed down open
The light of the sky
doesn't shine in your eyes
but leads the way to redemption
 
I like to stand there for a moment
on the shortcut created by troubled feet
woven with wilderness bliss
and cigarettes...

Why do I write
I cannot not write, that is why
It is a compulsion
I wake up with a poem or a song spitting out of my mouth.
I jump out of my bed and hit the computer before the john
People in my family know when the keys...

Delight in something daily
A flower, a bird, a juicy tomato
Relish your good health
Your hearing, your memory, your clarity
Celebrate your children
Their happiness, their successes, their families
Enjoy your freedom
Create something, dance, sit in the sun
Smile if you can see
Use your sight to enjoy nature and children
Laugh at...

Cooking is my hobby-it is the greatest pleasure of my life.
Besides, no weapon is as useful as a ladle or chopping knife,
I dream of cooking in my sleep, of cooking, when I awake,
I dream of rustling up a creamy mousse, or a chocolate cake.

I bet...
