Do you write occasional poetry, or do you have favourite examples by other poets?

I should write more than I do. I used to be a writer although then I was oblivios but would spend countless hours editing poetry. Personal astrology daily blurbs and thoughts along with plans and dreams. I kept a notebook at every corner just to jot sumpthing down or doodle till something came to mind. I quit writing when mid..midlife I lost everything I'd ever written all at once after spending about one month in the hospital fighting to stick around a little longer. When I got out my former roommate and I thought friend, had got rid of all my possessions and moved a new girlfriend in. I think that lose was one of the biggest in my life. Just thinking about all my notebooks with hours if my thoughts ect. … from beginning to end at that point in my life and I was doubled over. I quit writing as a sort of strike. Although I regret it. It doesn't solve any of the fights I battled now in my head because if this.. TRUTH so about 4yrs ago after a decade of lose and opiate addiction as well as many tragic and bad things within it…I finally picked up the pen or keyboard and tried to try again.. it's still not the same and I don't more than I should..and I'm gearing toward making this a top priority. But along with life and those thoughts of doubt it's a harder to do it. So with no more adue I'll leave you with this haiku

SILENCE

NOTING LEFT

Trees stars birds bees

SWIRLING ROUND

LIFE
