Matthew Anish Poet Blank verse

Craft Girl

My old girl 
   was good at crafts 
   Even mad a poster with me on it 
Now it is over 
Guess 
I
am 
just society's child 
   like Janis Ian sang about 
   Well, I guess I will "keep on trucking" 
What other choice do we have, fellow poets?

Funom Makama February 4, 2015 at 11:15 AM Beautifully written with an explicit craft shown as obvious as the scorching sun. Great piece, a wonderful share and a blessed read.

Kelly Deschler January 28, 2015 at 1:32 AM I was into crafts when I was younger. Handmade gifts are special and they do hold memories. But, if they are painful memories it is best to let them go... A very good write, Matthew. I like how this ended with a question.

Monterey Sirak January 19, 2015 at 8:55 AM Love it! Especially the reference to Janis Ian.

Andrea Dietrich January 17, 2015 at 10:51 PM Matt, I am always so surprised that you are a bachelor to this day. But maybe one day you will find true love! by the way, did I tell you I finished your chapbook? My favorite of your poems in that book was Canyons. Outstanding.

M. L. Kiser January 15, 2015 at 4:03 AM That speaks volumes; there will be another in the future. Well done.
