I once met a man
He was a reciter of poetry
A teller of stories
Dresses in a vest, and a plain shirt
His copper hair rests on his shoulders
He often spoke to your soul
I didn’t like him
He loved free air and open sky
I stayed in a closed room all my life
What did I do wrong?
You stay in a room to study
You work on a lonely bare desk for money
Then I saw his shoe so torn
And the fence around my mind
Lay on the ground undone
I left in a haste
Painted stars on the roof of my room
Put flowers on my desk and
Pictures of my husband as my groom
And I his bride.
It is good..but as a writer we all must keep improving and expanding our horizons…
Thanks…I agree:)
A good piece.

Umm..Hi!
I am so happy you thought of my blog for the nomination. I want to accept the award but I don’t want to do all those five things. So, I am not accepting the award but I can’t stress this enough, your appreciation means a lot to me, it really does. And thank you so much!!
Lol no problemo!
Oh thank god! I was worried I might seem rude:):):)
What’s up with the vest? I told my family I published a book of poetry and they asked me if I was gonna start wearing a vest and a turtle neck.
lol I wonder..
I don’t know may be it’s like how tweed jackets with elbow patches are a teacher’s thing.
What did you think of the poem? Any tips?
I am asking because you are an established poet and I am a novice….
I’m also a novice, but I like your poem it had good imagery. Plus, I like how you set it up like you were into that guy at first by describing his vest and his hair; then, you flipped it and said you didn’t like him. Then you finished in some sort of mysterious state. It was a good story.
Thank you:):)
it was amazing …
Ty!
