MY Body Of Work

by Joan Serratelli



I have written

between 0-1000

poems

in my life

Some good

Some bad

some happy

most sad

I write

from

my heart

It’s a hobby

Maybe I’m

an autistic savant

They just come

to me

Give me some paper

give me a computer

I’ll write a poem

~or not~

I am who

I am

I won’t change

too old

too set in my ways

Read it

Don’t read it

don’t care

BUT

NEVER

EVER

TELL

ME

IT’S

NOT

MY

WORDS

Reminds me of a poem I wrote a long time ago declaring that I would write 1000 poems before my days were numbered. haha

Your writing style is distinct, Joan, and your words are fearless. Thank you.

Nicely captures the romance and challenges of being a poet. I too once pledged to write a thousand poems before this life is through. If I haven't already passed that, then I'm pretty darn close. Thanks for the well worded reminder, Joan. :)
