Writing Poetry

I am not much of a poet.  Correction.  I am not a poet.  At all.  At school I hated having to write poetry, or short stories.  Give me an essay any day!

But, I just found an enabling link to write my own poem.  It is a lot of fun and takes just a few moments of your time.  Do try it. Via Bentlily.

Here is mine:

I used to worry I was introspective
I used to believe life was demanding

I used to wish I was confident
upbeat
patient.

Then one day
I looked out my window
and saw a cloud

a grey
fast-moving
perfect cloud.

I nearly choked
on the epiphany

we arrive inside
an envelope
of bones

there is nothing to be done
about this

so fill it with calmness
let it brim
with faith.
