A Weed, Not a Flower

I had a long roll, and have extra cash to spare. However, for somebody like you, I don’t care. I see that usual wave of a beckoning call. With your type, I am not interested at all. You are here on the street corner at Pacific Avenue. I know the reason for your presence, and what you do. Guys can have you for a price. You are not true. Your guise is as thin as the silver coating on a lottery ticket. This flower is a weed, and some other man should pick it.

Yes Robert, 8 emerged is about Noah and his family. Thank you so much for your kind comment. Very well done Robert. I guess you are referring to the 'ladies of the night.'

I'm glad you like the poem, Landon. However, my name is not Peter. It's Robert, but you can call me Bob.
