Henry and Me

Henry and Me

I was reading aloud my own poetry,
only I in the bedroom except for
Longfellow who quickly fell asleep.

"I'm a poet and don't know it because my shoes are Longfellow's." Very nice write. A little humility serves us all well. ~Kilmer

Thanks for stopping by my work "Summer's Perfume"..It was a memory about a dear aunt whom is now deceased..Love the humor of this one..Yes, my husband would be out or get up if I started reading poetry but then again I have read something that was funny penned by someone famous and he listened and liked it..Thanks again for the kind reveiw..Maybe you could write a very humorous one and keep his attention..Sara
