Juli- Michelle Poet Free verse

Stick Figure

a simple
little stick
in the center
of a blank page

i mean nothing
always have 

a little head
silly circle
with a smile
but there should be a frown
instead

even though i smile

i mean nothing
always have

no realistic
qualities
that could deem me human
i'm no human
i'm a figure

a lonely figure
and even though i smile

i mean nothing
always have

Joann Grisetti May 15, 2012 at 7:07 PM Sounds sad, but makes one think. A great poem always does.

Ilene Bauer May 2, 2012 at 3:49 PM a very creative way to present this poem, which is sad but beautifully expressed.
