Wandering Pen

If I know at the beginning
what I will know at the end
then I might as well
mark out every line that I have penned

Poetry for me
is about finding myself
and it is something a poem
can't do for me by itself

Every word I write
helps me collect a thought
an intimate realization
through a personal snapshot

It could be a desire or
a fear that's just been exposed
a clue into myself
that the poem has just proposed

writing is a powerful self awareness
that comes from within
I pray I will never neglect
my wandering pen

Author notes

This poem is kind of an explanation to why I chose my name. I really appreciate all comments and criticisms.

    Really Good

    You answered my question, in poetic form. A well chosen
    name. The rhyme is very subble, and not forced. Keep posting.

    Fabulous!! I really like this explanation into what poetry means to you and how you will use it as a way to self awareness! I love your screen name...

    I can see you will be writing from your heart and giving us glimpses into your soul.. I really appreciate anyone who does that... it takes courage to do so... but it is so rewarding! It can help us get to know ourselves better... be it about joy, or simply a release of feelings, and a healing!

    Again... I'm liking the flow...
    It will be great to watch you spread your poetic wings here!
