Why do you write poetry?

On the third planet of an average sun in an outer arm of a Milky Way Galaxy hurtling towards Andromeda, it seems to be what I am suppose to do.

If I don't write the poems that must be written, who will? The time line runs like this:

• Creation
  
• Homer
  
• Sappho
  
• Shakespeare
  
• Whitman
  
• Starpoet.

Besides, the poems keep rattling around inside my head until I let them out. Until I write them down, the noise makes it impossible to think about much of anything else.
