I contribute this poem to Griffonner
Without his insight on my poem POETBAY.
I would have never written this.



POETRY

We All write what we write,
Sometimes to fill a void.
Sometimes out of need,
Sometimes our heart bleeds.

Something stirs inside,
Sometimes like a single seed.
Steadily growing so slowly,
Before picking up speed.

I have to confess,
All of the above is me.
Than again here's the rub;
To some I may appear simple,
I write what I write out of love.

Not as some may think of me,
Because of my love of symmetry.
Or for my love of reading poetry,
You may find this a little trite.
I love to share and read poetry,
That myself and others write.
Writing has given me another life.

I am honoured to have provided a spark in your mind. But who would have thought that a tiny spark would have burst into this fiery defense of your love of writing! Lovely stuff.
