PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

if I am cold in the morning

fine

then that

I will just have to be

never to worry though friend

for I shall

in the end

believe me

find a sweater

a bonnet

along with my last vestige of pride

and yet of course

another ultra fine place to flea

my come upance

(when it comes)

will be grand

my face a fortress

of the subtlest rage

my art haphazardly religious

but only to whichever the

currently chosen page

no one will ever truly know

if it is really me

for I will have long since died upon

the paper

so who would even think to expect me

at such ceremony

my pen will never cry.............
