This is poem 1500
Of all the poems I catalogue
By date--including year--when I
Add them to my poetry blog.
After adding 1500
Poems to my résumé,
I am sure that readers wonder
If I have anything left to say.
There's ALWAYS something to write about.
Although as crazy as it may seem,
Many of my poems, I'd say,
Are variations on a theme.
Very straightforward is how I like them--
Not ambiguous, highbrow, or deep.
At times mine cause a controversy
When I choose to take a leap.
Different things will stimulate us.
For some of us it's reading and writing.
When we look at the universe
With wonder, every day's exciting.
As long as there are hypocrites,
Religious fanatics, thoughts to explore,
Natural wonders, current events,
And tyrants, I’ll have topics galore.
And so I'll keep on plugging along
Until my mind and body give out,
At which point I'll “lay down my pen,”
Without a whimper, without a shout.
