Poem Title:
Poem
Two Silly Fools (at the coffee shop) The shop was full Only one seat to spare Excuse me sirs, can I have a chair? Why yes they said, smiles filled the air They happened to be poets the same as me Politely I asked, may I read a verse of thee? They both rather meekly said "If you really insist" One said to me in such a small whisper My poetry is not at all very good As much as I wish it could and should The other chimed in, is the same with me I stared in surprise Have I just met two of the dumbest fools? I exclaimed in a manner rather short and abrupt "You are the greatest fools I ever did see" Rather shocked, they pushed back their chairs I shouted sit; I am not done with my airs You two fools better be quiet and listen Cause I will say this but once, so I have written Your poetry is of the highest caliber you see You have the flow and the creative imagery Darren and Rick need I say more? Your hearts bleed poetry, is deep in your pores Your poetry wakens the spirit in us all If you want more you sure have some gall Now writing as this, I wish it was me For I look up to poets of such high degree Now if I must tell you a truth to be told Is me the fool, for being so bold So now let’s sit and make if coffee for three Of the happiest fools and great poets that be! Notes: This was inspired by a chat I had with both Darren and White Wolf who for some bizarre and strange reason both doubted their talents and abilities as Poets. Needless to say, I gave them a word or two on getting those silly thoughts out of their heads! I find both of their poems to be diversified, well written, inspiring, contemplative and at times just plain fun to read. After all, it’s the read who is the final judge. I sincerely hope I have made them both smile!
