The New Me

The New Me. From today I shall only write fine poems go to the local poetry reading club and be adored by female fans. Honey will drip from my lips and I will wear flowers in my hair and there will be a flood of happy tears. In Paris I read poetry about the Roma people and the plight of the Palestinians, the silence still rings in my ears.

tongue in cheek humor, and a beauty in your words. The kind of poem that makes me want to hear more of what someone is saying! I really enjoyed this!
