No money in it or neither much fame
For me this penning of rhyme is a hungry belly game
My better days in life in the forever gone
And i must be addictive for to keep rhyming on
I cannot claim myself for to be a poet
Nor am i one worthy of literary note
Yet i enjoy rhyming i write rhymes every day
And only in death hope to give it away
Flower rhymes with shower and bee rhymes with tree
And Ann rhymes with Dan and tee rhymes with fee
Yes it is easy to write rhymes as easy as can be
Anybody can do it you can have this from me
If i said rhyming was a way to earn a living i would be telling a lie
Though i hope to be doing it till the day i do die.

Dear Mr. Duggan,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for responding yesterday!
I had a few brief questions about you poetry, and your poem "Racism is Around Me Everywhere".
What inspired you to write poetry? Why did you choose to rhyme in all of your poems?
Regarding the poem "Racism is Around Me Everywhere", I really liked the lines
"They feel superior and they differentiate
And against those who are different they discriminate."
Did you see these behaviors from people around you?
Thank you so much for your time!
Sincerely,
An American High School Student.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your query Re 'Racism Is Around Me Everywhere' yes i do realize that racism is very obvious in society and though it is latent in most cases the undertones of it are not hard to detect, i do come in contact with it every day, not against me personally but on what some people say of other races than their own and this is disappointing to say the least but suppose this is how humanity operates as for writing rhyme i have been doing it for many years and i have always loved reading rhyme even as a boy in Millstreet Co Cork in Ireland, i do get pleasure out of writing rhyme and if another person like something i have written this makes me very happy, you asked me what has inspired me to write perhaps it is a way of self expression as well as a love of things natural and my fascination with people and their ways i hope you do well in life and thank you for taking an interest on what i so enjoy doing.
