Daniel Cheeseman Poet Rhyme

Blue Days, Lost Youth

Denim jacket, stained Tshirt, tattered jeans
Another cup of coffee, dream away your dreams
One more cigarette to pass the time of day
The street of life is slow, without the means to pay
The hum of the mass is all around
Silence begets you in your world of lost and found
Another puff of smoke passes through those lips
The dregs of your coffee still at your finger tips
The different shades of blue in those denim jeans
Somewhat faded like your hopes and dreams

Carolyn Devonshire January 20, 2010 at 7:54 AM There is a deep sense of despair in this well written poem, Daniel. I hate to see life passing anyone by in the manner you describe, but there have been times when I felt like I was stagnant too. Guess that's when we need the proverbial kick in the pants to get us moving again. Don't give up on those dreams. You have too much talent to let it go to waste. Love, Carolyn
