*** Poems ***

by 'Barry R. Long'

I never saw myself as being a writer of poems but look
the challenge to write thirty poems in one month yet I took
subject matter is easy to find, my life has pathed the way
I have hardly read any books, now they're here to stay
poems now circulate round my head, all the week
is this really me composing them, some are even sweet
there is an added bonus, occasionally a lyric to unwind
and to my total surprise some of my poems even rhymed
to have people truly like them, gives a swell to the head
still very much in awe of me being the writer when it's read
words pour out as if from a literary tap flowing away time
thought the tap would slow down, instead it's matching in double rhyme
I'm half way through the challenge and still going strong
can't wait to find out how many of them fit into a song
until then I will keep writing every day as prescribed
the outcome and tally to be scored only time to provide
