The selling of my soul

Words employed are enjoyed as bonds of the heart enfold,

in poetic dreams rhymes deployed emerge in beauty’s mold

though family – often annoyed by the repeat of poems told,

challenged – as words employ, a rhyme may seep in verses bold.

A subtle ploy, I consider it joy, treasures in gilt – or fool’s gold.

A rhyming toy! Regardless of worth, lines worthy to behold!

In a quirky voice, sparkling with youth even when I am old.

My rhymes play a poet’s choice, with many more yet to unfold.

A start, for this upstart as the verses paint in hot and cold.

My canvas of poetic art, whimsical, quaint, in the heart to hold.

My soul is sold.
