Joseph Matose Poet Couplet

A Gentle Man

A Gentle Man


Spare him, leave this man alone
His exemplary life is humbly done.
What a sin to force or compel him
To get out of his modest whim,

To deck his clean skin with apparel
To his cool mien that is parallel!

Don’t teach an old menopause ******
A strange or some new sex trick.

Although you hike his poor salary
He will not play to Evil’s gallery!!

Allow him to lead others by love
And not by workplace iron glove!

Just That Archaic Poet January 19, 2014 at 10:31 AM After reading this piece, I immediately wanted to wash my hands because I felt as if I had grease all over them and was covered in industrial soot. When something like that happens after I read a poem, I know it's good. This piece was vibrant and vivid and greasy and I feel the smudge :) Joseph Matose January 20, 2014 at 12:23 AM Thanks, Chan- although the Editors removed my most treasured word that rhymed with trick! I thought it wont be viewed as profanity since it is the only technical English name for a female dog! Friend, JM
