My friends don't even know me. <br />They really have no clue. <br />I don't say I write poetry. <br />Is it the same for you? <br /> <br />Does a poet always tell their friends <br />about their secret vice? <br />In passing I may say ''I write.'' <br />but, I'll never tell them twice. <br /> <br />Do we like the ''cloak and dagger''? <br />Is it ''mystery'' that we seek? <br />Oh yes, I do write poetry... <br />but, it's a secret I shall keep.<br /><br />Mary Nagy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-secret-life-of-a-poet/
