Poem 1500

This is poem 1500

Of all the poems I catalogue

By date--including year--when I

Add them to my poetry blog.

 

After adding 1500

Poems to my résumé,

I am sure that readers wonder

If I have anything left to say.

 

There's ALWAYS something to write about.

Although as crazy as it may seem,

Many of my poems, I'd say,

Are variations on a theme.

 

Very straightforward is how I like them--

Not ambiguous, highbrow, or deep.

At times mine cause a controversy

When I choose to take a leap.

 

Different things will stimulate us.

For some of us it's reading and writing.

When we look at the universe

With wonder, every day's exciting.

 

As long as there are hypocrites,

Religious fanatics, thoughts to explore,

Natural wonders, current events,

And tyrants, I’ll have topics galore.

 

And so I'll keep on plugging along

Until my mind and body give out,

At which point I'll “lay down my pen,”

Without a whimper, without a shout.
