The Think Tank Thursday #91 Escape

My ego makes moving on criminal-
I'm a poet,
I'm a poet,
I'm a poet
and 'I' HAVE to BE a poet!
I can't escape being a poet
with that nagging itch to write;
for whom?

  2. For YOU, most of all. For your family and the next generation in time. Make hard copies too.

  3. We all know this urge. And I agree with the others. We write poetry for our own needs and sometimes they see the light of day, they see others' eyes.

  4. YES, for YOU. Because we must, when we have these words singing inside us. And for US, because we love to read what you write:) How did your exams go, kiddo????
