MY POETIC EXCUSE

Folder: 
JOURNAL#2

I write rhymes that make very little sense

I merely do so for my own self defense

when I am old

these lines will be very dear

they will walk me down memory lane

year by blessed y ear

please do not fret if they you do not understand

more than likely my brain and right hand

will be the only ones who fully can

bear with me and interpret your own meaning

even though you will probably not really know

to which end of sanity that I am leaning......

all poetry has part fact,part fiction but always some form of the character of the writer in it. It may be subtle but there. Keep writing this is an excellent piece!
