In school, poetry was kept in the distance;
To writing, my mind was not in tune.
That thought I gave so much resistance
That I became almost immune.
I did write one about a cowboy’s existence,
But my dull mind didn’t like the activity,
Thus came years of that mental resistance
In drowning myself in naivety.
Then the dam broke and words flooded my brain.
Surprising my lazy and stagnate mind.
While some of the thoughts are a little inane,
Most are found to be thoughtful and kind.
They are far beyond my natural ability,
Mystifying both family and friends.
They hadn’t noticed any mental agility,
Nor any authoring trends.
There seems to be no logical explanation.
For the thoughts which keep coming forth.
I trust they wont cause any consternation,
But may you find in them some worth.
