I haven’t done Poetry Friday before
Maybe I’m worried I’ll run out of words
Although, have a little chat with me
And you’ll quickly see
how impossible that would be
Just breathe, I remind myself, just listen
Close your mouth, no one needs your opinion unbidden!
I’m used to speaking out
letting words just spout
before my thoughts have a chance to reroute
But I’m learning action starts with reaction
I’m not an expert, I just have passion
And so much more I want learn
I have thoughts I need to overturn
also a pile of decisions to discern
So this is my #whyIwrite I guess
A place for my brain to confess
I’m sure I’ve done it wrong, it’s true
But I’ll toss in this poem, my big debut
Be nice to me, I am new
Thanks for the Poetry Friday Link Up, Friendly Fairy Tales!
On a Thought 
I love your Poetry Friday poem and welcome!
Delighted to have you here, pondering writing, listening, and breathing with us!
Welcome, so lovely to see you here. The poem is just perfect for a “debut”.
Welcome to Poetry Friday! Your third stanza is my favorite — the moment when you get brave. And that bravery was enough to overwhelm the thought that you’ve “done it wrong” and allow you to take the risk and put your words out there! Yay you!
Welcome, welcome, welcome! You will quickly find that Poetry Friday is one of the nicest corners of the internet. 🙂
Welcome! And what a fun poetic introduction. As Jane said, Poetry Friday is welcoming and inclusive. I’m sure you’ll be back.
Hi there hi there, and welcome! What is your name? There is no doing it wrong. This year my goal as a teacher is to TALK LESS SO MY STUDENTS CAN TALK MORE. It’s hard.
I have had this same goal for a year or two… it’s a hard one for me!
My name is Ona. 🙂
Welcome, and I’ll hope to see you again, mysterious, anonymous friend.
Thanks! 🙂 I love how I must accidentally be anonymous somehow! -Ona
Glad to meet you, Ona.
Welcome! Do you have a first name, so we know how to address you? It’s a little more personal that way–and, we don’t bite! P.F. is a welcoming community.
And, my name is Diane! I should really change my WordPress account to reveal my first name, too! 😉
Done!
Hi Diane – Thanks for stopping by! My name is Ona.
Talk about an entrance! Well done, and welcome to the friendliest group on the web!
Welcome to Poetry Friday! It’s a great community for all with a passion for words. I enjoyed your poem of welcome.
