Tidbits On My Art

Where YouBetIAm comes to write….

Tidbits On My Art

A poem, a rhyme, a measure of my time

A little bit of me trying to be sublime

The story, the prose, and even the essay

All come as part of my verbal ballet

A writer’s got to write, like a singer’s got to sing

Somewhere along the line writing just became my thing

I know that every piece has to be a whole

That everything I say must have a goal

I want to ask the questions running through your mind

I want to lay the answers out for the very blind

And as I put the words out with my paper and pen

It’s my wants and needs that are laid out time and again

To write a little anything is to be in control

I am the keeper and the barer of my soul

All the little answers and questions that I ask

They’re little tiny tidbits that only I unmask

It takes confidence to put down an original thought

And writing is a just a little fight that’s fought.
