Not everyone likes poetry.....
I heard someone say they don’t like poetry,
But I hope they'll always wait and see
For with any prose I keep an open mind,
And hope that I will continue and find
That the words I read are the words I need
To express my feelings or simply sow a seed.

It may be a start, a bone of contention,
May herald thoughts that lead to invention
Of the great story or the perfect rhyme.
But what I always do is give words time,
To make an imprint and try me to impress,
To lead me to issues I have to address.
