I AM

I am messenger,
I am conveyer of words,
And through my pen;
Delivering thoughts.
Of pasts,
Of mistakes made unwise,
Of hopes,
Of dreams;
and risky schemes.
I am messenger of writing pages long,
And that message gets told in many ways strong,
And at the end of the day
All I ask reader of mine,
That I have told the story accurately well.
So you see,
I am messenger,
I am conveyer of words,
And it is through my pen,
That I fulfill dreams.

A bit choppy in my opinioon may I suggest either I or The as I am the(a) messenger to smooth the lines some otherwise I enjoyed reading this poem

Poem I Am

My main premise when I write a piece is that it has a beginning, a middle and an ending and it tells a story overall....Francis

Hi Francis, I agree with Lynn

Hi Francis, I agree with Lynn, your poem is a bit choppy and many words can be tweaked so that you can write it with fewer lines. Otherwise, enjoyed.

Think the choppiness might actually reflect how the thoughts might come when trying to describe ourselves
