Arthur Vaso Poet Light Verse

Poetic Aspirations

Kind poets die
Bitter ones come back to life
Drunken ones have no life
Sober ones write novels not poems
Married ones write of great loves
Single ones, of love lost
Funny ones toss away their poems
...... and join the circus
My cat wrote a poem for a contest
........and Won
I am a very depressed poet
........ and lost
As the eagle soars high in the clouds
……....a great hunter of poetic verse
This poet crawls towards his desk
Another day
Another terrible poem

Meg Anderson December 28, 2014 at 12:47 PM Arthur, I do not think it was terrible but insightful. That's who you are. Your words are meaningful! Do not think otherwise! Continue to write and be the magical poet that you are! Meg

I can see me in many mirrors reflecting your verse... Maybe not the drunken one...Though i can get silly with one glass of wine if I eat nothing befire ' : ).I got the message of this piem..Clever indeed.
