A late visitor to poetry
Words tumbling onto the page, desperate
to be heard
But what do I know
A cursory study of poems as a teen.
Can I presume
Are there rules
Am I breaking them and
does it matter
Are my words worthy
I read more and more
Talented writers with something to say
Their use of language
evoking an image
an emotion
a response
Compare and contrast
but to what end
I can only write as me
my thoughts
my lines
my words
