I Just Read
by Joan Serratelli
just read….
that poet’s
are “made”
not born
I don’t remember
anyone teaching me
how to write a poem
I just did it
It probably
wasn’t any good
but I just kept
doing it
Occasionally I write
a good piece
more often
than not
I probably
write a
mediocre piece;
but IF I like it
that’s all that
matters
I think I,
like everyone else
has some
G-d given talent
My Mom wrote
maybe I got it from her
I would like to think
that I inherited her
strength; her
spirit
and just maybe;
a little of her
determination
...and...
incredible
talent
