Here is a poem that I wrote in answer to the question “Why do you write poems?”
I never really asked the question
It’s something I just do
not understanding it myself
I’m hoping this gives me an answer too
Well, there are some reasons-
to gain a greater understanding
a sorting of solutions
when problems are so demanding
I may also quest for clarity
and reveal my thoughts to you
which are not simply shown
with a simple “How do you do”
I guess it is also dam control
when emotions are eruptive
I need not spew out lava
these rhymes are less destructive
Poetry brings a connection
to something greater than me
whether for my own expression
or entertainment at a party
They rhythm so simple and calming
soft and sweet like a lulliby
no matter if the topic alarming
or if the pain so harsh I must cry
The words are like a security blanket
that help me to continue
whatever my perspective is
my poems will always ring true
Realizing this Divine expression
of words that bring such peace
I now make this my profession
so that the rhymes will surely increase
