The Written Word

Ive always loved to write whether a note on a greeting card a letter a Christmas message a letter to the editor or poetry. Writing helps me organize and define my thoughts to express them just the way I want. Poetry is like a puzzle finding the fewest right words to express these feelings. Rhyming which is easy to read adds a whole new dimension of cleverness. (OR dimension of fun) cleverness is a bit presumptuous. My inspiration to rhyme came from the book Just Folks by Edgar Guest 1917 given to me in 1996 by my parents. His clever poems are about lifes experiences we all have are simply written and rhymed for greater enjoyment.
