I have always been a bit of a poet. It started when I was teenager and I would write song words and things like that in order to express my feelings. I have always liked writing poetry as well although I have less time to do it now than I used to. It used to be something that I loved doing at school in English class. Many others despised it and I guess that it is something that you either have a talent for or not. I have recently started writing poems for the greeting cards that I send to people. I buy a blank card and then put in a poem that I have written. I did some grandparent poems recently which went down really well and when it was the vicar?s birthday I made up some pastor poems which actually got read out in church, which was quite funny. I do sometimes make them humorous, which this one was and so it was a lot of fun. I am currently writing a family reunion poem as I am organizing one and would like to use it on the invite. I think of it as way of putting my own stamp on things and people really seem to appreciate it.
