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.

I like it's off-the-wall yet direct-on message 'feel', if that makes sense and hope it does because it is my truth. This has an edgy attitude that leaped with confidence and won me over! Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Reminiscent of Andy Williams' 1964 hit 'Moon River:' "You dream-maker, you heart-breaker,..." Nicely penned, Alexis! :) Gershon

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.
