A struggling poet
Oh! to be in poetry and to be writing
there's no denying it can be trying
so very stressful and so confusing
I don't know why I'm still composing
day in and out I scrambIe for the book
to find the right words and spelling
not to count the story that I am telling
I even have to watch my rhyming
but in the still of the night when I am writing
my words and thoughts are conniving
they seem to be jumping and serenading
I am in awe at what they are creating
I may be a struggling poet
and I don't know if my critics are enjoying
they can be laughing or maybe crying
but I am in love with what I'm doing
Your friends are enjoying your work you can be sure.
To be in love with writing is a real source of self satisfaction and while we would love for eveyone to love our work, we must first write for ourselves and love it ourselves. If we find a few along our way that loves it as well, then the circle is complete.
I have written in my so/so style for many years now. It is also the love of the presentation for me. To give my readers a little extra or perhaps it is because I am afraid my words would not stand on their own. LOL I just know that I can only be who I am when I come before my keys, and I thank you again for being one that continues to come to read my efforts. I am finding reads, but few comments. I think my long windedness (is that even a word? LOL) and the presentation scares them away from coming back to me or even leaving a line. That just may have to be the way it remains because I cannot change.
Your work is always wonderful and you have every right to be proud of what you see before you.
Hugs,
Lesa
