Poetic Reality

Putting words into verses
Verses into rhymes
Getting into your minds
Each and every time

The reality of the world
The news we all see
Knowing at any moment
It could be you or me

Listening to people talk
About all kinds of things
Hearing good stories and bad ones
And some funny ones in between

Being frustrated about situations
Wondering what’s going to happen next
Not understanding some outcomes
Some things leaving you perplexed

So with words I express
The stories I hear
Some from far away
Some very close and dear

Thoughts running in my head
Words scrambling in my mind
Searching for the next title
Looking for the next sign

Getting stumped
Writers block
Trying to keep it going
Trying to stay on top

Okay, okay I got it now
Life is a poem – as well as society
So I present to you my new book
Poetic Reality


Thank you Cinque (my brother) for forcing me to write this poem since it’s the title 
of one of my books! Good Looking (love ya, miss ya)
