Picture Book (Ragtag Daily Prompt)

Ragtag Daily Prompt Thursday: Picture Book

Form: Barzeletta

As a child, I went into school
Studying hard on every rule
Ready to make my way in life
And then I met with stress and strife

Anyone can write words in rhyme
Without learning poetic art
You can draw too, but where to start
A pencil line from the first time

Waking up with my face a frown
The nine to five wearing me down
My love of art left far behind
I had lost my way to unwind

Anyone can write words in rhyme
Without learning poetic art
You can draw too, but where to start
A pencil line from the first time

I got some pens, started to write
I got some paint, drawing my sight
Just hobbies purely for pleasure
That’s something you cannot measure

Anyone can write words in rhyme
Without learning poetic art
You can draw too, but where to start
A pencil line from the first time

Images of words or fine-line ink
Opened my mind a chance to think
Now working brings me so much joy
The wonder of art my employ

Anyone can write words in rhyme
Without learning poetic art
You can draw too, but where to start
A pencil line from the first time

I am a freelance writer and poet and started writing after raising my two boys as a way of discovering just who Jez is. That is still very much an ongoing project but the journey so far has introduced me to many wonderful friends and fellow writers through an ever-growing love of poetry.
