All down through time and the ages
there have been poets and sages
trying to express their inter thoughts
script them on parchment, empty pages

I am doing that now writing on paper
my deepest thoughts, what will come later
I can't even guess what happens next
it will be a surprise, life is like that

I am not anybody special or, even exciting
but I do have inside me, desire for writing
jotting down on paper bits of information
what the sky looks like now, when is vacation

what color is mauve, how on earth do you spell it
has the mail run today, is there any more rejections
I am my publishers worst nightmare, come true
receiving all those letters from me, I'm a poet too!
