Not A Mushy Love Poem

I want to write a poem
so what do I decide?
No mushy, sloppy love poem
or a secret to confide.

Something for me to practice
my writing skills again,
long they have gone unchecked
and not what they had been.

I so miss the days and nights
when I would stay awake
writing stories, plots or rhymes
any format I would take.

So here I go again
closing with a word,
no mushy, sloppy love poem
unlike others you have heard.
