It's Your Fault, Hank Poem by Kim Barney
It's Your Fault, Hank
It's all your fault, Hank.
It's you I have to thank.
Years ago I did write
poems, and then for quite
a few, I stopped. Maybe
I would never have written another
but then you helped me discover
Poem Hunter. It seems crazy
to consider, that for me,
a former quitter, finding glee
in picking up a pen
and coming up with rhymes again
is like being given the pick of the litter.
(Farmers will know what I mean by that.)
Now my poems flow at the drop of a hat.
I start to write and just can't stop.
When I've the urge, I feel I'll pop
if I don't let them out.
There is not one small doubt
that it is your fault, Hank,
and I have you to thank.
We also share a love of playing chess, and he is kind enough to let me beat him almost half the time.

(25 December 2014) Hank didn't tell me (because he didn't know at the time) that before you submit any poems, you should go to the 'My Profile' page and click the button that says something like 'I do not want video added to any of my poems'. Consequently, I have spent many hours the last two days deleting and resubmitting poems that have that obnoxious soundtrack. I have one more to do after this one, and then, hopefully, it will not happen any more since I have clicked that button now.If it does, I will probably delete all my poems here and use another poetry website. There are quite a few others out there.
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
