PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

When I was a tough cowboy
an interesting thing to do

I should find

this demand is not complied with
notwithstanding these circumstances,

I shall be Mr. Otherwise

though I know now

flying about the world,

turning up unexpectedly here and there,
dodging this, ducking that
and losing
individuality

walking on the morning dew

in which moonlight

is an enigma

like my anonymity

I say nothing

I am Mr. Otherwise

my Nom de plume

I am who I am

I am my poetry

separate and mind attuned

in less movements

now, I find in letters

vowels

consonants

now the words
insulate me for good measure

I felt visions disappear

I repeat an elegant oration

literary
labors

without cursive

you will do it

or else

pursuits and instructions

ingeniously in the variations
some curious anecdotes

composed and corrected something I had never written

because I am Mr. Otherwise
