Yara Rouhana Poet Etheree

Innocence Prevails?

I
Got lost
Wandering
Around at night
Fearless of all harm
With innocence I smiled
At a stranger saying hi.
He stopped me by his gaze, I smiled
Then he unzipped his pants, I still smiled
He looked around for eyes, no one was there
Devilishly smiling, he turned to me, I blushed
“Sir, peeing on streets is impolite." He turned away.

Jose Stephen April 11, 2009 at 7:09 PM Good and funny poem. I use reality and imagination in my writings. So I am curious about this poetry. That man must have lost his mind. But you were very respectful and kind enough to re-direct him. We should be merciful to vulnarable people like him. God Bless you.
