Journal; the relationship between poetry and me.

I am no professional poet, nor do I ever intend to be. I rarely read poetry and I do not care to see a poet perform, or do whatever they do. So why do I write it? Most of my poetry is born of impulsive fits, where binding my thoughts to verse comes as compulsively as picking a scab. Some poems I plan, but that is rare. When you read my work, just keep in mind that I am not a serious poet. Anyway, serious poets are not poets at all.
