(a sample of my work)

On the Internet I need, and do want to be;
to meet other people who are more like me.
I get knots in my stomach and head that's a pounding;
as some new ideas, replace old ones by just sounding.
I feel better, for creating a poem which is defined;
after I put my thoughts into neat, and orderly lines.

The Internet seems to be where I have to start:
than maybe I can play my real, God-given part.
I've had jobs that span for a bunch of years;
making a living out of quest, or was it fear?
I needed to provide for those, who are to me dear;
kept my own secret dream, poetry, in the distant rear.

Now that my children are grown, and sort of on their own;
I have to learn the Internet, I need a modem and a phone!
I am a frustrated poet, who has been told: "you are great!";
but what is the next step, what is the time and the date?
When do I become recognized?  Until then I'll do my best;
writing in rhyme, is what I love, which seems to be my quest.
