I was off work with an injury and just wrote a poem and everyone liked it pretty soon I had a notebook full and they just kept coming.
Some are happy some sad. I have been told numerous times I should publish a book of poems. For me it is one that someone likes. I have no style or training but I have poems hanging at a university. Does that make me an artist? I guess it depends on who you talk to.
