The Window

I know you are there,
I sincerely do,
You are just so transparent,
I see straight through you.

The many people you’ve seen,
The little fingers that have tapped on you,
Leaving stains, fingerprints, and marks,
My, what you’ve been through.

Have you ever wondered, being there so long,
All the junk you have to take,
Being taken for granted, unappreciated,
Could this pressure cause you to break?

But wait my glassy, glossy, sleek friend,
You mustn’t worry or fret,
You can and will be recycled by those who care,
This is only your first life, I bet.

Benjamin Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
