By Joan Watler Wilson

I find writing poems good for one’s ego

Once I get started I just can’t let go

Even though sometimes it’s really tough going

Most of the time my thoughts are flowing.

But if I really think deep and concentrate

I can produce words at a pretty fast rate

Words that maybe tell a story

Or words that mean nothing produced in a hurry.

*

But when I write especially for you

They’re full of love even though lines are few

And the time taken to write them is too brief

But it’s what they mean – that’s my belief.
