Work In Progress

I write poems.  

Everyday.  

Some are 

not great.  

I make mistakes...

sometimes the meter is off, 

sometimes the end rhyme doesn't quite work 

or 

is forced, 

sometimes the poem just doesn't make sense.  

But I try.  

Everyday.  

 

Maybe my next attempt 

will touch a reader 

in such a way that 

they smile, 

laugh, 

remember something from 

their own childhood 

 - ultimately feel something.  

My words may resonate 

with someone, 

somewhere 

for just a few minutes 

and 

their mood is lifted, 

their day

is that much better 

because 

of one of my poems.  

I hope so.  

My poems are 

a work in progress.  

I am 

a work in progress.  

My writing journey continues...stay tuned.
