My Journey 


When I began I was no writer,
Appreciation from you, my dear reader
Inspired me to nurture my meager skill,
And turn writing into a thrill

Writing for me started as a one-shot,
That also meant it would be my last-shot
Words of encouragement made it the first,
One led to another, and writing became a quest

Mind began to explore,
Imagination gained wings and began to soar
Ideas sprouting in the mind,
Along with experiences combined
A rich language and reader's words of praise,
What more is required for a writer to raise!

In my journey as a writer
I have managed to come so far
Continued support from you, my dear reader
raises my hope to shoot for the star
