A Humble Poet
Some call me a poet and some call me their friend
Both are cherished titles I will treasure ‘til my end
My paper is my canvas and my paintbrush is my pen
The poems that I humbly paint come from deep within
I try to create beauty with the wording of my art
With hope that in some minor way that it will touch a heart
My poems may tell a story that rhyme a verse or two
Some of them are fiction while others very true
So if you care to take a look you’re always welcome here
Hopefully you’ll read a work that you find very dear
And if by chance a piece of it should bring a little smile
Then the efforts of this humble poet all have been worthwhile
Poetic Song
When stirrings of my soul begin To urge the hand to move the pen I’ll put in print a dreamer’s word A simple song my heart has heard
A favored thought from long ago
May be the cause for ink to flow
Or beauty found on nature’s stage
Can put the words upon the page
A bit of humor that I’ve found
Across the paper dance around
With hope perhaps they will beguile
And bring about a happy smile
Or thoughts to entertain a child
At times across the page run wild
A journey to an unknown world
Come forth as pages are unfurled
But every piece of work I write
With meter loose or meter tight
Of verses short or verses long
Are part of my poetic song
** I'm happy to announce that my first book "Words of a Humble Poet" is available at lulu.com at the following link www.lulu.com/content/165657

Softly bathed in pale moonlight
I came to greet a rose by night -
Beside the rustic harbor stands a lighthouse on a hill
And it keeps a watchful vigil o’er the waters deep and still
