Njeri Hunjeri Poet Free verse

Misspelled

I feel like I want to cross the boundaries with you
I feel like I want to tell you about me, my feelings about you
I feel like I need not to
Am afraid of losing you if I do so 
Am afraid that I don't have that pass
Even thou you are my biggest sport to cheer

Do I have to spell correctly? 
Do I have to proofread?
Or do you want me to come mispelled?
Or do you want me to keep no time?

Because I will misspell, if you want me too

Lewis Nyaga April 3, 2015 at 9:59 PM Nice pen Njeri.. second guessing is borne out of self critique and the great ones do that objectively.. its and indicator to consciousness of the self the path towards enlightenment... i loove it #7//hugs and blessings Njeri Hunjeri April 8, 2015 at 3:24 AM Thank you Lewis for your kind words and for the 7.

Louis Spence March 28, 2015 at 10:48 AM Njeri. Thanks for the compliments on my poem POETS. Particularly liked your Misspelled poem. Funny and clever. Good stuff. Njeri Hunjeri March 29, 2015 at 12:55 AM You are welcome. Thank you for commenting on my poem too. Be blessed

Andrea Dietrich March 24, 2015 at 2:04 PM words from the heart do not matter if there are some misspellings. I like the metaphor of this one. Njeri Hunjeri March 28, 2015 at 6:03 AM Thank you Andrea. Yes this poem kinda has two explanations to it; one about my misspellings and the other a romantic metaphor.

Maurice Yvonne March 24, 2015 at 9:53 AM I love this poem. There are so many layers of meaning. I think this is so beautifully romantic. I also did not read one word literally. It spoke to me between the lines and around the lines. Njeri Hunjeri March 28, 2015 at 6:00 AM Thank you Maurice. Yes it does have a deep meaning too.

Julia Ward March 24, 2015 at 8:30 AM Congratulations for writing a sweet little poem with vulnerable sentiments. Julia, xx Njeri Hunjeri March 24, 2015 at 8:41 AM Thank you Julia for your sweet comment.

Richard Lamoureux March 24, 2015 at 6:23 AM I often misspell even though I have spellcheck. I Think what the heck, I can still wreck and not create the right effect, I guess I'm not perfect so In the end if I don't have the right effect, I hope others won't detect my little defects! Keep telling us about you as for me I'm glad you do because your words ring true and you say a lot with just a few. Njeri Hunjeri March 24, 2015 at 8:38 AM And that's why I wrote this poem. Coz I may proofread my work but I don't notice the errors until I post a poem online. And that really drives me crazy. Thank you Rick.
