6 - FUN

[The sixth entry of April 2016's A-to-Z Blogging Challenge.]

*

Every so often I remind myself

When a piece of my writing's done

I write not to impress, or show

I'm writing because it's fun

It's sad when no one laughs

At my jokes or a clever pun

But again, I write because I enjoy it

I'm writing because it's fun

I must remind myself

I don't have to be number one

I don't have to chase popularity

I'm writing because it's fun

When I don't receive the "likes" I expect

My heart will weigh a ton

And once again I tell my myself

I'm writing because it's fun

I could use big words to describe

The luminous, effulgent sun

But no, I keep it simple when

I'm writing because it's fun

Writing may not be my career

Heck, I've only just begun

Whether it's just a hobby or not

I'm writing because it's fun

I write what I think and feel

And not just to please everyone

I write because that is my voice

I'm writing because it's fun.
