Meh.

No. What? No what? Okay, I started to write something else that started with a no and deleted it, but since I like to begin with what I originally started with, I stuck with a no that makes absolutely no sense at all. :-p.

Isn't it thrilling that I share with you my thought processes on writing? Ah, is that where the no is supposed to go? Maybe.

 

Still I write

Whatever strikes

To me as good

Or as not

For that is what

I am myself

 

Writer man

And good at it

Even if

The droves may not

Agree with me

If their replies

Are any judge

 

 

I deleted a following verse

And there just there

As what I thought

To be but prose

Sung hard enough

That here I am again

 

Another bit of versery

With no hint of a name

Not as what

I would have done

In my earlier years

 

But what of that

As though I think

I may not be

As good as now

As was I then

Still I am

Gifted with the verse

 

And that is simple truth. I'm a damn good poet! In fact, I'm a better poet than novellist...Hmm, not that I should call myself that, even though I've written a novel, first draft, so...poet than story writer. So good, ahem, that many of my poems are story plots. Umm, so...what does that mean in regards to the ability question? Hmm...

Okay, time to go now, I can't sit here all day and write. :-(. Yeah, I know. Work beckons.

See you in March.
