Why Poetry? Poem by Jonathan Goldman a.k.a JGthepoet

Why do words on paper
Form in Scan and Rhyme,
When I pick up my pen and write,
Now, and Time after Time?

Where do the words come from,
That flow and into my Mind drop?
From HIM Above they come now,
I hope they’ll never stop.

I wish to write more poetry,
I want to express my view
Of how I’ve lived my Life,
And relate the facts to you.

Why in Poetry do I write them,
The Events ~ My History ~ My Life?
The Good Times that I’ve experienced,
As well as my Troubles and Strife.

Why cannot I write a Story,
And in Prose describe my thought,
Instead of writing in this form,
As these Poems are to you brought?
