I started writing poetry, if you can call it that, when I was in middle school. Yeah, a few shivers just ran up my spine. I was so very awkward with girls. Since starting this blog, I decided to dig up some of the “old” stuff and take a look at it. 
This is a poem I have now revisited. It is titled “For someone special.” I can’t remember who it was for now. Being that there were only two or three girls that I pined for back then, I am sure I could guess. But, I choose not to. 🙂 Originally, this poem was pretty free-handed. I generally wrote this stuff straight out of my head (I said heart back then). So, today I revised it to match a set syllable count, meter and rhyme. Not anything that a great poet might have used. I don’t pretend to be very good at the poetry bit. But, I needed to write a bunch of words today and this looked like something that could be fun. And, I wanted to write something for my wife.
For Someone Special (Revised 2013)
Only two hearts that shall be
Only waiting never to see
Looking high, beauty I find
Looking low, waiting to holdThis rose I send bound by love
Heart’s end it came from above
Two in stride the one I find
Bless the one I want to holdHope to hope, holding to care
To love you there is no err
Blinding light prevents my find
Struggling my grip to holdIf you shall be ever near
Still waiting for you my dear
Through my love, it you will find
Plainly, is the love to hold
Terrible, I know. But, I warned you that I wasn’t a poet.
