A poem expressing the love of doing verse.

There are many things worst,

but I'm a poet first,

for this I do thirst.

I'm always out on the hot desert,

thirsting for verse,

it seems at times it's a curse.


I do not care about how good I am,

or whether I'm just a flim flam.

Poetry seems to be a need,

something that I must breed,

birthed from my poetic seed.

Each poem becomes an offspring,

maybe to others nothing.


I have thought this through,

versing is what I love to do.

What verse has joined together,

let no man storm its weather.

Looking back over the years,

you know I've shedded my fears.

It takes a fool to lose twice,

then refuse to start over nice.

Love is my main verse,

even when things get worse.

They're pretty bad now,

but I'll verse it somehow.

Your Gem hook says everything about you; you are and in reality, it does not matter how well we write, just as long as we do. I've always said if we find one thing in this life we love, we should do it, regardless of money, fame or anything else. Happiness is hard to find. If we are writing and taking the time to do it, we could certainly be out doing worse things with our lives. Hence, why I think it is so sad that writing is not taught as much in the schools, anymore. If you give a kid paper and a pen and tell him to write his feelings, he'll be too busy to get involved in gangs and other things.

This was a nice tribute to writers, poets and why we are the way we are, Gem.

Thank you dear. Now, off to MySpace to e-mail you.......
