I Still Write Poetry! Poem by Ramesh T A

Today is my birthday....!
Do you know, my friends?
I am 66 going on sixty-seven!
I am yet to see the heaven!

1972 I vowed to be a writer.....;
17 years I was busy with joint-family
Business and family obligations!
Only from 1989 I started writing!

Despite disturbances and distractions
I have been writing poetry regularly
Making me realize that I am a born
Poet to write poems only forever...!

I have published all my writings on
Internet world wide websites and
From 2008 on I am daily writing
Poems and poems and poems....!

Still the zeal to write poetry has not
Stopped so far and so forth and so,
I continue to write poetry not only
For my friends but also for all ever!
