Gratitune

What a great title for how I feel! Was never chained to be a potato peel. After eighteen, I learned to follow my own stars. I acted, was in movies and naughty Pangie met writers, actors and even famed musicians  in bars. No, not two bit wanna-be writers or actors at all! Those in real movies, published writers and all! They were regular friends and visitors at my small house. Don't think for a minute, I am a bookish mouse. Decades of a wild life, nothing boring, not ever. Boredom and I do not get along, 'tis not my pleasure. Hey, I don't kneel to any poet here! And neither should you, sing of only your soul's cheer! Be you, no matter what. If others do not like that, well, tut- tut.  I love writing at zany four a.m. It seems the world and I get down perfectly, then! It's the most exuberant time of my day. I want to run outside in the cold and shout, ole! I think I was blessed, the minute I was born. Some hate that and look at me with green, jealous scorn! Two authors used me as characters in their books. Boy, that's exciting, so stop giving me second looks. I don't try to impress you with words or forms. Couplets for me, are so norm! I love real people not filled with baloney. Poets like that are not my cronies. I cannot type as most of geniuses do. So all my poems are one finger-dos! Yes, and my long-winded comments, too. Sorry, but can't just say a word or two. Where am I going, what's the rush? I tell it like it is....so very much. So that's only partly who I am. I still am growing, hoping to be a better human! I'd like to see more openness. Tis my crystal dream in this poetical forest.                        11-29-2020               4:30 am Title of poem...credited to.Max Highstein..album "GRATITUNE".
