Made Me Ponder:

I once read a poem about a rusty old gate,
Which made me ponder! It's not the subject, it's how it relates.
                                     
I once read a poem on a sinking ship,
Which I loved, it was straight from the hip. 

I once read a poem on a wilting rose,
I forget the form, perhaps it was prose.

I once read a poem about a silly old man,
I laughed and laughed, I was the poet's greatest fan. 

Though the poetry I love most is still a mystery to me,
Eagerly I wait to read the next poetry!

Ultra-cool poem, Rick. Top notch. You were just too dap (black slang for combo of smart/cool.) Love this one. Righteous touch. Keep loving and living, sharing and giving, my Aussie friend. Much love to you.
