What Love

She still walks the streets that moulded the 
dimples in her smile,

the streets that had her sing a tale song 
tailored with a forged rhyme.

She's fond of the trees that cater a platter 
of shade towards her mile, 

a mile that has so many hearts of weary 
travellers on her pile.

What art is she?

She shares a splif with the dukes of our 
time,

And walk into fortresses to dine with the 
lords we spite.

She feeds on reasoning of fouled grey 
widows,

how come, how should, how can: she 
mourns.

What love?

Hi Sizo, I love your poetry and your country. I recently travelled there for a month over the summer. I was wondering if I could please contact you via email? Warm regards Mike

HI SIZO, stopping by to say hi. I love the energy one can leave behind. But, yes sadly sometimes more than smiles are expressed out of us, when we are grieving. I'm happy to have come across a poem that moved me at the end with the proper emotions when a smile falls... I'm reading Carols blog on the bottom of me... A be-lated welcome to the soup. My name is Linda, my friends call me PD... I have a fun blog going on. I'm inviting you over to feel the fun. Thank you for your kindness xox~LINDA

Thank you for the warm welcome Carol. Am new here and know little of what forms of poetry I write. I just write when I feel like. Maybe you can help in catagorising my works :) Best: Sizo
