Now At 62
I've been writing since I was 13 and I am 62 year's of young age,
we live, we learn, we grow, day after day life turns the page.
I have been on many different poetry sight's since 1975 you see,
the truth about the different sight's show's only one difference to me.
The only thing that makes them different than the other's is the name,
they are all geared to make money, which makes them all the same.
If you are not a payed member you don't fit in with their click.
that gives you a 99% chance that as a winner you won't be the pick.
So sad but yet these words are so very heart breaking true,
you have to be a payed member to get them to notice you.
I am in many poetry anthology books, and several was even put on tape, you see,
They weren't a poetry sight where you a payed member you must be.
We write our heart's, soul's and mind's down on paper for whomsoever to read,
with word's of love, forgiveness, knowledge with wisdom of life I feed.
Not a payed member, really mean's, it's truly all about the money you won't rise and shine, as they do,
you want to become a good poet, and get other's to notice you.
Then you have to know, see, and understand the truth in the words I write,
the only way I know to be equal, and fair, is start a new kind of poetry site.
One that is different in every way shape, form and a totally different fashion,
where everyone's work's are shown and presented the same, the standing out is left to passion
I am checking in on starting this different site, and give it life you see,
where a payed member just gets to use all the tools for free.
