Why I Go On Writing Poems Poem by Ferdinand L Quintos

Why I Go On Writing Poems



I have never left my country
to see beauteous lands far away,

I know how it is during summer
but not when autumn or winter,

I have met foreigners right here
but not in their lands over there,

I am nonetheless quite happy
though everything like this may be;

Many have seen a part of me,
not bodily but through poetry,

I know with their 'like, ' though silent,
through whatsoever they comment,

no like or comment means not least,
the Facebook has a “Seen by” list,

critical comments one may say
will not work to undo my day,

to improve my craft I will learn,
to make people, for it, to yearn,

to reap awards I never will,
my heart is the book I will fill,

people who saw, see what I wrote
my heart will forever take note.
