PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

She’s highly intelligent

but for some odd reason

she thinks me a poetic genius

and I remain remiss

as to explain

this genuine stroke of good fortune

shining on me

in the face of disaster

when I’m vain enough

to call myself poet

she nods approvingly

I wonder why

but I don’t worry

I just commit

to enjoy the moment

as it all unfolds

and in the midst of chaos

she is a reason

to maintain the faith
