Why Do I Write Poetry?

Why is it that I can sit and write these words?

They seem to just come into my mind,

And I need to put them on paper.

Some maybe good,

Some are bad ,

But the urge to get them written

Is a force that I cannot fight.

They can be funny.

They can be sad.

They can be angry.

All emotions are shown,

The strongest one is of course love.

The emotive ones are best;

To put emotion onto the page

Comes to me with absolute ease.

Writing poetry is a release

Into a different world,

Where some troubles are forgotten,

And others are written here.
