People better at verse
Than I will ever be
Take time to read my scribble
Poetry amateur?
Yes sir-ree.
They know the best words
Better even than you know who.
A like from them to me?
Oh, yes, that’ll do.
Pattern, structure, purpose
A good bard
Makes words almost sing.
Alas, not my calling card.
This I do for fun
To relax and better see.
The words I pluck from my mind
Shared with you and me.
