POEMS AND OTHER LIES

I try to write creatively and not overly depend on obsessive introversion as a source for verse: that said, a writer implants something of himself or herself in almost everything he/she writes, either consciously or otherwise. This little poem, however, is about as close as it gets to pure autobiography.



         
















WRITER  


An early reader, I aspired

to be a writer and acquired 

a little notebook, pocket size,

where I wrote poems and other lies.

The habit stuck: I write each day

in search of truth, that old cliche.
