Poem of The Day

Skills

Some do art and paint
Some mold with clay,
I try playing with poetry
I rid my frustrations that way.

Others collect rare coins
For which they have to pay,
But I help my mind
Thinking of what to say.

Some play the horses
Other just gamble it away,
Playing cards or on ball games
And do it everyday.

But life is enough of a gamble
No matter what you do,
So I just try to enjoy it
Within my mind a love that is true.
