Pssst....

I don't know you, how do you know me?
Never read the Book, just watched the History....
Channel?  Is that what I do? When I write about you?
Is it true? Truth to be shown?  True? Truth to be known? 
What's that?

Of all the faces, spaces and brains
you coulda shoulda woulda landed on, 
this is the one who's pretty head strong.  
Two legs short, a little petite,
not always so but mostly sweet...
and the name is Long.
Know, it's not spelled wrong.either.

O! #$%#@# you say?  Well how can it be?  
Bright eyes, long hair and a dress on a hippie?  
Nice. I guess we'll see.
But I don't know you... how do you know me?

PSsst...

At first I thought this might be in response to someone who left a negative comment on your work - then at the end I thought it is just a unique poem about getting to know each other through our poetry! Honestly, I am still not sure, but I love it!!! Love, Shar

Reading your work, we see a very unique style emerging, Izzy. "could shoulda woulda" has such a kick to it. (The History Channel is a great source of inspiration.) And, yes, we do come to know each other through their writings. Don't want to miss any of your work, so you go to the faves. I admire your creativity, class and rhythm! Love, Carolyn
