Two Thousand.

Two thousand Poems!

How could I have written two thousand poems?

But I have.

And this is it.

If you had told me some years ago

That I would be writing poetry

I would have laughed at you.

Me! Write poetry!

You are joking!

But then I saw it,

Saw a work of art,

It brought tears to my eyes,

A picture that pulled my emotions

Into vast sadness,

The power of the art spoke to my soul,

I had to write something,

Something about it,

And my first poem appeared.

It all started slowly,

But over the weeks, months, years

More were written,

Until that time when I had to write.

It was a drug in my being,

I just could not get enough,

Get enough of writing.

So here I am

Writing another one,

My second of the day,

And there will be more to come.

So welcome to my world,

My addictive world of words,

My world of poetry.
