National Poetry Day
I am an eternal scribe with inspiration in my tank
I paint pictures with words for better or worse
The whole wide world is my canvas blank
A complicated intriguing man of intricate verse
My Celtic heritage for my blarney I have to thank
Mostly I am upbeat but then again terse
We are all in it together no order or rank
Writing is a blessing and sometimes a curse
The pen is mightier than the sword to be frank
Hey all you poets take the time to converse
If you have something to say don’t draw a blank
Write out loud you are a poet and proud

Thank you for your rhyming retort
Hats off to M.C. Newberry
You are definitely a good sort
Birds of a feather you and me
