David Harris - A Personal Journey

If someone had told me years ago, <br />poetry would make my name. <br />I would have politely smiled <br />and nodded yes, <br />and not believed a word of it. <br />I remember once <br />attending a poetry reading <br />and calmly getting up <br />and declaring I was not a poet, <br />and then wondered why everyone laughed. <br />They must have realised something <br />I did not know <br />that in fact, I was a poet, <br />of course, that was a long time ago, <br />and much waters <br />have crossed under the bridge of my life. <br />The doodles I once called poems <br />were in fact poems after all. <br />Some were much better <br />than I could ever dream of. <br />It took me a long time <br />and the internet to realise that fact. <br />Now I have started a new dawn <br />within my writing career, <br />taken steps down roads <br />I never thought I would go. <br />The journey has not been unmarked, <br />as I have gained so much more <br />than just becoming recognised as a writer. <br />I have gained so many friends across the world. <br />Something I could have only dreamed about <br />in my younger years. <br /> <br />17 April 2008<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-personal-journey/
