The verses I write,

from events that I see,

might not be your,

cup of rosy hot tea!

 

Not being clever,

don’t write to impress,

not for the glory,

or the fame of success.

 

I like to connect,

to thrill and inspire,

I don’t write of love,

all that passion and fire…

 

My lines are quite plain,

not obscure or sublime,

just everyday stuff,

caught up in a line.

 

If I am lucky,

I might make you think,

to stop and to ponder,

just before your next blink.

 

I hope that you feel,

you could do this too,

so pick up a pen,

and give it a go!
