Does anyone write poetry?

I love reading poetry and wonder why there is never any poetry written here. I'm not into writing it, but sure love to read it. MJsLady wrote a few but I wonder, do we have any other poets?

Please share!!

I write a bit when I have time.
I wasn't sure if you saw this section:
http://www.frugalvillage.com/poetry/
Some people post it there instead of on the forums. I'd love to read more regardless of where it's posted though.

I write hundreds of poems!

I literally have a whole book full of them. Sometimes I can write 10 in a day and sometimes I don't write for months or even years? They don't seem to come from 'me' if that makes sense? It is either 'there' or it isn't? Here is one I wrote for my still born child in 1992.

My beautiful, peaceful little one, tiny pure and mild.
You're much too good for our world my darling, you're surely God's own special child.
For you no pain or heartache, no badness to see or hear.
My perfect, beautiful baby, you've nothing left to fear.
And now my arms are empty, and for me alone I cry.
When darkness closes in on me, I can only wonder - why?
The precious time we spent together, my deepest love to you I gave.
And all those special moments, my mind will always save.
I thank you for being my little one and although we have had to part.
Wherever you are my darling, in your arms you hold my heart.
God has gathered in our darling, placed our bud amoung the flowers, taken back the child he lent us, to a much better home than ours.

All my love from Mummy xxxx
