By Surprise?" the answer for me is yes.
On Sunday I started a new book,
It was a spur of the moment thing.
It's to celebrate the life of my son
The highs and lows he endured like a king.
I've written the intoduction,
The acknowlegements, the blurb too.
A couple of poems to start me off.
It's taken me by surprise I'll tell you.
It's a thing I feel I need to do.
However long it may take.
He was a wonderful son whilst alive.
I MUST do it for his sake.
For me these past twenty years,
Writing poetry has taken me by surprise.
For at school many years before.
It was one subject I did dispise.
Would do anything to avoid the class,
Thought poetry was a thing of the past.
It wasn't until my husband passed on.
That poetry writing made an impression that would last.
HAPPY AUGUST ONE AND ALL:

It's your outlet and a great way to honor your son.
ReplyDeleteThank you Alex, I hope I do him justice.

Poetry is such a wonderful form of expression.
ReplyDeleteYes Sandra, I found that out after I was widowed, most theraputic.
DeleteYvonne.
You write what you once disliked - LOL! It just wasn't the right time back then.
ReplyDeleteGood luck putting together the book for your son.
If you only knew I went to great lengths to avoid poetry clases at school and it took me to my middle age to realise it's a great way to express one's feelings.
DeleteThanks for your good luck wishes Diane.
Yvonne.
You do write great poems, Yvonne! It takes a special knack I think to make it rhyme like you do.

I'm so excited to hear that you're writing a poetry book, Yvonne. Keep us in touch with how it's going. It is strange sometimes how life turns out. No desire to write a book when you were young, and look at you now. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThank you Beverly, I had no desire to read poetry when I was young.....more into music although I still love all genre of music still to this day.
