He Walked In the Nude, a Man Unto Himself and Much More

He Walked In The Nude, A Man Unto Himself And Much More He walked in the nude, a man unto himself and much more His life and escapades but death falling from a high trapeze And his oozing pains in this overly selfish, snobbish world Were so very soon left behind by opening the ninth door. Who cares that his unruly, untimely death was but a failed show Had not the golden angels sang to him that cold winter night And the spoiled aged queen danced lively at his wedding Ah, but you may cry his misery was but a candle aglow Whilst world laughed and called his dancing but vanity Were so very soon left behind by opening the ninth door. Robert J. Lindley Rhyme- I that have seen the truth. He was my very good friend

LOL Robert. I don’t get commented on a lot. I never have… ML Kiser asked me five years ago “Did you come here for comments or to write poetry I carry that message always. There are millions of new poets here, also. Reminder…his is a holiday. People may not be online, aND do not expect a poem to be read right awayMy… suggestion is to announce you are back in a blog…I know you have fans here. Why not! Something to consider. Panagiota xx

Thank you my friend. Seems to me that my message sent in this new write maybe did not come across too well. One comment made --tho' it be a stellar one --yours- is a very poor reception given the number of reads shown. haha God bless, you and yours Robert
