the poet in me

I'm suddenly inspired to write poems now. I guess I felt inspired when I went to my mum's poetry reading the other day. Before this I only knew how to READ not write poems. I guess it's time to unleash the poet in me now....if there's any. LOL! Here's a piece of poem I just wrote:

I Was A Fool

Oh yes, I was a fool,

To think that our friendship was like a love pool,

Filled with kindness and honesty.

We started great,

'Friends forever', you said,

Then came the time,

When you put me aside

for another friend.

Was it a girl friend or a guy,

I wonder why.

As the days and nights passed,

It finally came to me,

You were just a friend living in another shadow,

Putting up a terrific show,

Making others believe you're the innocent one,

And yet I was a fool,

To believe you as the person you're not.

So there, you go. It's based on something I experienced before. What do you think. Is it any good....for a first-timer?
