WHAT I DO



WHAT I DO

I was
Asked
About
What i do
After
Putting down
A poem
Every morning.

When I 
Said
Nothing
It was
Assumed
I just 
Idle the
Day 
Away...

How can
They know
The work
It takes
To sift
Through 
Every hour's
Moments
Picking
Just the
Right ones?

The ones
That
Ultimately 
Inspire 
The poet
In me
To
Pen rhymes...

It is the
Work
Of the 
Heart and
Mind
Not visible 
To the
Eye.

Ah, I'm 
Busy 
All day
Doing
The most
Important 
Chores...

I read
My own
Thoughts
And feelings
Choosing
On the 
Deserving
To be
Scrawled
Down
In a 
Rhyme
The next
Day
At breakfast 
Time!
