"Published"
for people to read online.
Every time I finish
a new one,
I get a feeling
that's hard to define--
Not because it's a
tour de force,
A magnum opus, or
masterpiece;
It's just the idea
of letting thoughts flow
And then feeling a
sense of release.
Call it a marriage
of thoughts and expression:
That's what writing
is tantamount to.
I sometimes wonder:
do you find
A poem, or does a
poem find you?
I still enjoy the
challenge of rhyme.
Up to now that's
been my choice.
After hundreds of
poems, rhythm
And rhyme have
helped me to find my voice.
I like to merge
poems and songs,
So, often I write
with a tune in my head.
Some of my critics
ask me, "Aren't
Some things better
left unsaid?"
Oh, no, no! I have
to reply.
When life gives you
a little nudge,
You let thoughts
out, come what may.
But true, the reader
will be the judge.
Since there's such a
wealth of topics,
And time's no issue
since I'm retired,
So long as my Muse
inspires me,
I'll write until I
am labeled "Expired."
