Write Well, Write Here, Write Now! Poem by Denis Martindale

I've written at the Dentist's
And at the Doctor's, too,
And I've been known to write my lists
When even at the zoo...
I've written poems on a plane,
First class without a fuss,
I've written sonnets on a train
And limericks on a bus...

I've written on a taxi ride
And on a coach trip, too,
And on a hovercraft to slide
I've shared my point of view...
I've written rhymes devotedly,
Unpaid when times were tough,
Yet with the gift of poetry
Comes the labour of love...

By faith, a poet starts to write,
Not knowing how it ends,
Yet knowing that with each insight,
A poet helps his friends...
And strangers, too, both near and far,
Will share those thoughts somehow...
It doesn't matter where we are...
Write well, write here, write now...
