I am not a poet

               
Forget it,
you must be kidding.
My brain is frozen I can't think of anything.
Everyone  is vigorously writing.
Except me.
I have never written a poem in my life.
I can't, rhyme, allude or personify.
Geez!! does my brain even work?
I know how I feel like
and I can tell you.
But I can’t put it into words for it to deeply sink into you.
I love reading your beautiful poems that fill my heart with utter joy.
I wish I could rhyme like you, imagine like you and be you.
But,
I am not a poet.
I don't know poetry.

Who is she


Miriam
Tall, shy, clumsy, curious 

Lover of cats and beautiful sunsets
Who fears losing purpose in life
Who needs compassion
Who gives what she has to be happy
Who would like to see peaceful people in a peaceful world 

But knows it won't happen
