So Reader

So reader Amaze me With your interpretations of my soul Those bleak enough to peel the onion dry And gawk astonished at the French-fried layers tasty and rubbed With mesquite anger and lament What worth do I carry For your own contemplations Pressed against my tapestry Do you see as I Do I see at all Does the world pass by As we engage in musings I carve from unfettered whims And marinated gatherings I only wish that value Which I string along with Licorice and toothpaste Clog the sweet stick parts you ignore Infuse your ability to wage A safe night through the course sublime That course being me And the end game filled with Winner's bounty Fit for a twisted yet enthusiastic brethren.

I am amazed by the picture you paint with only words. There is a story in each line and it grasps the reader leaving them wanting more. Your vocabulary is bright, colorful, and extensive. I honestly can't wait to read more.

It is interesting how others perceive our poems differently. Sometimes, they see things that you didn't even notice while you were writing... Always keep expressing yourself! Great work!

Thx Kelly, I appreciate it. Yes, we scribblers do have our blind spots, don't we? Thank gawd someone's actually reading these once in a while.
