Well, I tried:
Not a Poet And I Know It
by Becca
Today there was sun
and chammomile tea
I got out of my room
to be seen and to see.
"Comin' out of my cage
and I've been doin' just fine"
is the lyric I think,
so those words aren't mine.
Not very good at this poetry lark,
but thought I would try
and at least make a mark.
I turned on the light
to write this all down.
Adjective, verb,
conjunction and noun
Getting this far,
I think it's apparent
why poems are something
I usually dare't.
Is that even a word?
I think that I'll stop
before I get caught
by the poetry cop.
The Visit
by Becca
No one ever visits
the sick anymore.
Why am I the one going
to other people's door?
This isn't a game,
it's not trick or treat.
Life isn't so tidy,
or simple, or neat.
All alone by myself,
day after day.
I would love to just see you.
Please, won't you stay?
I don't really think
I'm asking that much;
not making excuses,
not using a crutch
Almost five years
is a long time to wait.
So you'll find I'm still here,
it's never too late
To just drop by
for a quick spot of yea
to help pass the time,
together with me.

Hah, I think you underestimate your poetry skillz.
I agree with Dragonsally! These are both wonderful and thought provoking.
Those are great! The first one reminded me of Shel Silverstein.
thanks, ya'll. This was one of those flukes where poetry actually worked for me.
Keep writing Becca, I enjoy your work. I need to get some of my new stuff posted on FB too.
