I like to think I do write with a humor...

Not looking for praise,
Wouldn't even, believe it or not, accept a raise,
Just putting on paper my thoughts,
Those that may or may not of you amaze...



 


That may just be by me a made up rumor,


It seems my sense of same came after a diagnosis of a tumor,


I write for the benefit of those less fortunate,


My humor is for those I would consider to be my heart and soul,


Those that are and forever will be this poetries consumer…


 


Not always does my humor show through,


Sometimes I do so to avoid being blue,


I only ask for you to read, being something I think I am due,


Surely with all there is to read, you can see my poetry is for you…


 


Of humor this poem was not meant to be,


This one is just so much a potpourri of debris,


My brain has been just of late a bit, towards writing, empty,


Thankfully though or not, things like that last only to a small degree…

Writing for >i/>moi and those less fortunate? You might be doing that as an aside, but you write because you must.
