The Poet's Own

This is the beginning of the story, The poet's own That which has never been said, The secret of the praying mantis. Indeed. This is how it all began The mystery The suspense Somewhat strange He thought he was only a normal boy, That he could go through all the stages a normal boy would He never thought that one day he would be the praying mantis Yet he did not only become the praying mantis He also became the tortoise, The chameleon. But all sad All weary And all disappointed That rage That love That darkness In their lives Had only the poet been another person.
