THE CURSE!

Ive made some folks laugh.
Ive made some folks cry.
Some have done both.
But I never knew why.
Why such emotion
Over a thing such as diction?
Cant they understand,
Most of them are just fiction?
A storys a story,
Though written in rhyme.
Must it come from my heart,
Each and every time?
A thought or a memory.
An experience or two.
A song or a star.
A snowflake or dew.
A movie, a child,
Or put yourself in ones place.
By wearing ones shoes,
Or seeing pain in their face.
Its true a soft heart
When worn on ones sleeve.
Is inspired more easily
When youre down on your knees.
But words are a curse
That go round in my head.
When I turn out the light,
And while laying in bed.
Im so glad that Im
Not a statistician.
That would be much worse
Than writing just fiction.

Robert, words, fiction, false diction, I too have the curse.
I wake up in the dawns early light, my head is spilling over with verse.
I grab a big pad, and give shorthand a stab...
Sometimes it hits in the middle of the night.
I'm still writing when it's daylight!
Your curse is certainly talented Robert,
I love reading your poetry
Don't ever stop writing, there could be something alot worse than your curse!
