Poetry (Why I Often Write It) Poem by Jan E Smith

Words set to a rhythm,
and often to a rhyme
Are windows to my livin'
and moments out of time

A tool to bring me back
from depths so very deep
A way to keep on track
when life's roads gets too steep.

So don't worry when I write,
It's when I don't you should.
My poems help me fight
and focus on what's good.

Though darkness may engulf me
and life seem hard to bare
I find strength in my poetry
and that is why I share.
