"World Poetry Day"

There's a day for something
A day for this & that
Even a day for folk like me
Who want to be a poetic prat!
But it's amazing that I've learnt to enjoy
Trying to be a working class bard
I see it as theraputic
Picking up a pen's not so hard.
I've made some good friends on the poetry circuit
There are others who are weird
It's not so much different
To Dulwich Hamlet anti-hipsters with a beard.
Truth is I've always enjoyed writing
Being a poet's not hard or a curse
Simply a few words jumbled up together
To form some sort of verse.
If you read some on my Facebook
Go on...I won't tell a soul
Pick up a pen for World Poetry Day
Make a few small lines your goal.

( A Facebook friend of mine, who as far as I know is not even 'into' portry, knows that I am. And wished me a Happy World Poetry Day. I hadn't even realised it was world Poetry Day!)
