Time to Rhyme to Infamy 9/11: A Partial Diary from 12/31/1996 to 09/11/2001

For Me

Thoughts within this book you find,

Put into words what came to mind,

Thoughts in rhyme on page you see,

Were written from an urge in me.

I write in rhyme myself to please,

Make no claim of English expertise,

When poetry my mind does fuel,

Want not be tied to structured rule.

With spelling and with punctuation,

I may not have a good relation,

So if English rules for you have need,

You may not want this book to read.
