By Joan Watler Wilson

I
find writing poems good for one's ego

Once
I get started I just can't let go

Even
though sometimes it's really tough going

Most
of the time my thoughts are flowing.

*

But
if I really think deep and concentrate

I
can produce words at a pretty fast rate

Words
that maybe tell a story

Or
words that mean nothing produced in a hurry.

*

But
when I write especially for you

They're
full of love even though lines are few

And
the time taken to write them is too brief

But
it's what they mean - that's my belief.
