ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
A 22 year old college senior, I finally started writing a little over a year ago, just because I suddenly found I had a very insistent Muse. My goal?? World Peace... Yeah, I know, I know... but I think it might be a nice change of pace. Don't you?

Sometimes She Writes
Joan Bentley
She sits down at her keyboard,
Her fingers set to keys,
To write the things that come to her,
Her only aim to please
her avid fans.
She hopes that they are avid,
Just happy that they read,
She always tries her very best
To give them food to feed
their hungry minds.
Sometimes they come unbidden.
Sometimes she has to "pry".
Sometimes she simply wants to laugh.
Sometimes she wants to cry
for lovers lost.
Sometimes the words elude her,
Of things she wants to share.
Sometimes they pour like misty rain,
That falls without a care
on broken dreams.
She likes to be creative,
To give them something new.
But oftimes strolls down memory's lane;
The oldies, tried and true
and very dear.
She writes for many reasons,
Some selfish, some "divine".
She hopes that they all read her words.
She hopes they find them fine
to listen to.
If THEY say that they like them,
It makes her feel so good.
It makes her want to write again,
Although she knows she should
not bother them.
But her heart fills up with things,
She really needs to say,
To the wondrous, perfect people,
Who get her through the day
and nighttime, too.
So she taps the keys and writes,
The things that fill her heart.
And hopes that though she's known them long,
That this is just the start
of something grand.
