Words or Change

Words or Change

A poor writer
Making pennies
A nail biter
No reflection of my abilities

Easy to pick up coins
To buy a cup of coffee
Crouching through my groins
A simple activity

Between two fingers
Pinching the coinage
Showing my butt to admirers
Just wanting a beverage

But writing is hard
Taking much energy
Pick and discard
Much synergy

Creating rhyme
Or paragraphs
To make a dime
And a few laughs

It is the same pay
Picking up coins or writing
I am not eating from the buffet
PB and crackers is exciting

The life I have chosen
To entertain and savor
No riches or acclamation
But one I favor

International Readers

International Readers

I am an international writer
People from the globe
Making my life brighter
Let us seek and probe

India
Great Britain
Canada
Australia

Germany and the United States
Have read my poems or books
I have great global mates
All taking precious looks

At my travel journal
And my poems and novel
A sense of fraternal
Not submitting to grovel

These people have bought
And spent money to read
Something I have taught
Feelings I want to feed

I am humbled and proud
And enthusiastic and delighted
To entertain a crowd
For things I have copyrighted

There will be more
I modestly dare say
Not to annoy or bore
But to make someones day

Just Write

No more mind drug
No more captivity
No more a slug
No more inactivity
 
I can think and write
There are ideas and activity
My mind is clear and bright
I have vision and creativity
 
What satisfaction
A few words in print
My words have interaction
Now I am on a sprint
 
Create a poem every day
For long as it lasts
And a long time I pray
But there are no hard forecasts
 
Maybe restart my novel
It is all in my head
I will not fall apart and grovel
Just forge ahead
 
I am optimistic about my ability
I know what I want to generate
I have so many possibilities
I have to accept my fate
 
Just create a rhyme
And let them grow
Let the words climb
Creating a sweet flow
