PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

how come I write an English poem

when I'm not even English speaking

how come I know these words

when I don't speak them often

and how come when I click my computer

they race towards the keys



what a wonderment indeed

I am always in awe

I ask my friends about it

and they say maybe I was born

in another lifetime, and English

abound my way



and when I wake up in the morning

and ask for my cup of tea

I always insist that they be brought

with marmalade and bread

oh what a glee! maybe indeed

I was born the English way
