Celebrating Poets – DeRicki Johnson

Hi everyone!

This “Poetry Month Posting Spree” is keeping me here so often and I am enjoying talking to you all. Sometimes, I need a push to socialise…I am a true recluse, perhaps that’s why poetry is dear to me!

Today, the poet I have for you is another wonderful guy that I met on Google Plus. Yes, Google Plus has been home for so long, and a place full of friends, I am not adjusting too well without it, yet.

Let’s talk of DeRicki Johnson. His pen is magic, and he writes about everything under the sun. I love his simple contemporary poetry that makes us think. He can be found on Instagram and Twitter and he does have a blog too. It was so difficult to decide on one poem, I wanted to add so many, but in the end, I settled on this… Enjoy his work!

We all play
The human game—
We’re born
We live
We die

For a few
That’s not enough
And so they question
“Why?”

Daft #poets
Are the few amongst
Those whom dare to try

To share the answers
In our hearts
Found with inner eyes#vss365 pic.twitter.com/3piuqINYXa
