My Second Poem

In my previous post, I confess there were lies,
Namely the title, which I now must revise,
A result of the generous, thoughtful replies,
This is a sequel, an encore, a reprise

My last poem was my first, but it won’t be my last,
The comments, delightful, my expectations, surpassed,
I now know the traits of poems are quite vast,
And you are all poets, sharing words you’ve amassed.

To unburden my heart from years of pain,
I’ve found that writing can keep me sane,
I no longer think this art-form is arcane,
Thank you for letting me try to explain.
