Motherearth mentioned she did poetry. Just to branch off here. what kind do you do? Does it ryhme or is it that 7 syllable Japanese kind?

I do jokey ones about peoples lives for birthdays and anniversiaries. I have a copy of every poem I have written. Started that in the '80s and so happ y I did.

Do you keep copies of yours. Anyone else do poetry?

  I love to write poetry and I like to rhyme. Here is a simple poem I wrote for my grandson about 5 years ago. I do keep copies of some of them. Can you share one of yours?
  
  
  
  
  Goodnight Little Matthew
  
  Goodnight little Matthew go off to your bed
  And rest your tired weary little head
  
  May your dreams be pleasant with angles all around
  And may you sleep peaceful, softly and sound
  
  Tommorow is yours and you will laugh and you will play
  And I pray that God keeps you safe for yet another day
  
  For you are the future of the world and my pride and joy
  Goodnight little Matthew, God bless this precious little boy

  That is so cute. I have written dramas but not poetry. I love poetry. My mom used to read it to me all the time. I have always enjoyed them.

  The Apple Tree
  
  The field, the grass, the apple tree.
  Its growing there just tempting me!
  
  Out thrust my hand to pick the fruit.
  Snapped from the twig from which it root.
  
  I took a bit and out there squirmed,
  A half of what? A half of worm!
