Analysis of HOBBIES (Poem #37)



Hobbies are fun things, which you can do.
 They sure can wile away the time for you.

A treasure hunt looking for that special find,
 Finish of a set or take you back in time.

It's exciting to add to your collection,
 Praise you receive for beautiful confection.

Collecting stamps, crosses and poetry I write.
 I find hobbies can really enrich your life,

Build self-esteem and add to conversation.
 A hobby just may bring you elation.

Jean Gorney

I wrote a poem for my daughter and new son-in-law and read it at their wedding reception in 1997. People have been encouraging me ever since. I try to write up-beat and happy poetry. My poetry has been in many anthologies, newspapers, church bulletins,etc. I won a small contest once. I self-published some small(4x5)books with about 16 poems in each that can be used as greeting cards. I include an envelope for mailing. Check them out on my FB page under Jean Magill Gorney. more…
