So modest:"
I'm not very bright,
So I keep it light,
With everything I write,
You see my talents are few,
So writing is what I do," Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest,

Well, this poem has a fast moving meter that tells the reasons why you write, in a tongue in cheek way. I think most of us who write are a little shy of public occasions that don't include only family and friends. I write to find out what my true feelings and opinions are.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Good luck.

Dear Mystery Writer,

hahahaha It's good that you realize exactly what your positive and negative qualities are. No good to spend time WASTING TIME, right? hahaha This was a fun one, and I didn't mind the mixed meter at all. This was a unique poem many of us can relate to. Thanks!

Writing is something we all can do, or at least should do, even if it isn't all that good. And whatever you write, even if not all that good, can serve as a springboard or inspiration for something else. Keep writing.

In my opinion, I did enjoy this fun and clever write - that, again, in my opinion, was smoothly delivered in easy rhyming rhythm. The meters presented well, as did the presentation in its entirety and in perfect compliance with the prompt. Best wishes in the contest with this inventive piece...

This poem is good for the "Why do you write" contest.

Everyone can write. Certainly you can write even though you don't dance or don't sing.

Some like to write poems and some short stories. You can write anything you feel like writing. Every piece of writing is a good one.

Thanks for sharing.

I am one hundred percent with you. When you have the power of the pen, you do not need any of the other talents that will lessen as you age. The power of the pen tends to grow and improve as you add the gravitas of age and maturity to the equation. Fellow writer, you are indeed powerful.

This is great, I'm in the same boat! There isn't too much I can do, so I string words together and it gives me much satisfaction. I think this is a wonderful contest entry. Best of luck.

This is a lively, rambunctious entry for the why do you write? prompt. I particularly liked the rhymes:
Leery / Query, and how you shifted in stanza 5 to an internal-end rhyme pattern.
Good luck in the contest!
