Poems and Short Stories
For all my life, I’ve loved to write,
And I feel that creativity knows no bounds.
Yet I’ve always had the terrible fright,
I’d die surrounded with drafts by the pounds.
I want everyone to see.
I want my readers to know,
I only write with glee
Despite the frequent theme of woe.
For within each story,
Each piece that has come to light.
Are characters come to glory,
Or facing a terrible plight.
And now a brief blurb of my works I adore.
