Alexis Y. Poet Free verse

Beware of Such Folk

I used to be a dreamer
until I fell for a dream crusher 

I used to be very optimistic
until I met  miss negative 

I used to have beautiful wings
until I ran into a shearer 

I used to be a lovely garden
until someone planted weeds


I used to see vibrant colors
until I came across mr.dull


Beware of such folk.
They bring destruction,
everywhere they go.

Gershon Wolf March 1, 2020 at 3:54 PM Reminiscent of Andy Williams' 1964 hit 'Moon River:' "You dream-maker, you heart-breaker,..." Nicely penned, Alexis! :) Gershon

Andrea Dietrich February 28, 2020 at 7:42 PM this is fantastic, Alexis. And here I just whined about myself in a soupmail, making me a cross between Mr. Dull and Miss negative. I like this one so much, I am going to FAVE it.

Sandra Adams February 28, 2020 at 5:19 AM Oh how very true this is. Made me think of the saying misery loves company ... as they like to bring others down. Good write with great advice ... have a great day Alexis :) hugs
