Notes About The Poem

The Vee Bdosa authored poetry books will return shortly, after minor corrections are made. In the mean time, in the Poetry Soup Bookstore, you can order, for a short time, both Ron Arbuthnot books, WRITING SONNETS IN YOUR SLEEP and GOLD VAULT OF POETRY.
These Ron Arbuthnot books were also written by Ron Wilson, aka Vee Bdosa the Doylestown Poet, under my ancesteral name of Ron Arbuthnot, Arbuthnot being of an ancient and important Scot Clan from the ancient area of Kincardinshire, Scotland, later to County Down and Dublin, Ireland, and later to Pennsylvania USA, the Colonies, This was done to honor my many Arbuthnot Poets and writers of the Scot Clan, and only a very limited number will be allowed to print.

Anyone ordering from the POETRYSOUP bookstore, if you will send me a 8x10 inch envelope along with at least a similar size folded with SASE addressed to you, I will send you a special print Title and personally autographed page, you can easily glue into the front of your books.

I do not know what POETRYSOUP is charging for the books, but I am sure it is competitive.

Turning It Loose

TURNING IT LOOSE
I'll tell you it's no simple thing,
this thing I have to say.
The time has come, so bear me out,
there is no other way.

I never thought I'd be someone
to hurt someone like you,
and if you take it all so hard,
I don't know what I'll do,

except to wish you better things,
as I want them for me,
you know you have a tender touch,
to those who look and see.

I know someone waits anxiously
in hopes you might like him.
I've seen you look at him that way;
his chances aren't so slim.

Now I am wanting someone else
who's sort of, like, your friend,
and waiting for the time to come
when you and I will end.

I've thought of these things for some time;
and now, what is the use,
in keeping on the way we are?
It's time to turn it loose.
