I consider myself not a Poet,
The longer you read, you will know it,
But the words from my soul,
Oft' escape with a flow,
My writing will sometimes 'ere show it.

But Poetrys not such a curse,
We all could imagine much worse,
Than to devote some free time,
To some words linked in rhyme,
Delighting our friends with some verse.

Please accept my humble entreaty,
My skills are both lacking and needy,
I'll try not to bore 'em
On your wonderful Forum,
As I post here my mental Grafitti!

I'm glad that you share what you write
Delightful's your verse, Dennis White
The words let them flow from your soul
Let sharing with us be your goal.

Every moment of every day...
your still with me in every way.

I knew it, I know it,
You are a poet-
I can see through your lies
Your disguise and alibis-
That you are a poet,
And know it.

Don't play it, just said it
We know it
So you have just begun
But how fine you have done
(so admit to yourself-)

With all these replies, I have to agree!
You're a poet at heart even if you can't see
Your talent is shining, your gift is in rhyming,
And a whole LOT better than me!  

I, too, here post my own humble words,
And they get more applause than they really deserve,
For I don't have the talent (but try to sound gallant)
And try at poetic reserve.  

I write of dragons (I wish I was one),
To say what they might do, it's really quite fun!
But I still can't arrange, it sounds very strange
When I try to rhyme one by one!  

Now do you finally see
How much better you are than me?
If I could write, just for a night
Like you...dear Lord, hear my plea!


You are a POET, Dennis! lol  
See? This reply doesn't even have a good meter!

With everyone writing in rhyme
it seems I must put in my time.
say “hi to Dennis, hope you are fine”
and settle myself for the night.

Added to that in graces good light
my hand now waves in delight
for looking to heaven I see in my mind  
your words as clouds in the sky.  

Soft and fluffy, full of good hope,
lifting and cheering my soul,
mixing with blue and floating in love –
do you really think I’m on dope?  

Don’t stop me now for I’m on a roll,
sliding deep down in a hole,
but sounding like an underground mole,
I think it’s time I went home!!

Dennis, you will no longer be a poet when your heart stops speaking to you. Mine often does when I'm writing and typing poetry (here and in other places).

I once knew a man name of Dennis
In the forums he was such a menace
With your senryu and haiku
There's no one quite like you
Perhaps I can beat you at tennis
