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)
