Your post made me think of the things I have tried, a fish out of water indeed! I find it’s more fun alone, so if i make a fool of myself I can just laugh. It has encouraged me to continue to try things, like poetry, swimming in the lake, painting…just for the fun of it. And yes, I also got a greater appreciation for the people who do those things really well! Your poems are good, the first one is fun, full of memories of childhood. And the second one is very thoughtful…thanks for sharing.

I love this! I too was once in a poetry workshop. The wonderful woman who ran it was also a "rhymer" like me. It was such a wonderful experience!
