Mike Hauser Poet Rhyme

An Open Book

this poem explains the state i'm in

from humble beginnings to bitter end

haphazardly it might be a bit

but haphazardly is how i live

it's here to show you both my sides

from the heavy to the light

you'll have to wonder how i survive

or at least how i get by

painstakingly i'll add to it

all the crooks and crannies, every stitch

nothing will i dare omit

an open book i'll title it

it'll read just like a comedy 

with it's share of tragedy in between

a real page turner for what it is 

but that's just how my life is lived

i'll leave nothing out for you to guess

nothing more and nothing less

call the priest i must confess

for some of this they'll have my head

but after all is done and said

an open book i'll title it
