I be shy, an scared anyway,
To public speak,
My mind too weak,

US poet Robert Bly
brought Neruda's verse to the public eye
His himself with poetry 'politique'
of Minnesota made him tick
who thinks he knows everything
does not even know what he does not know

basking in the sun's warm light
at the public park.

there is nothing wrong being gay;
but was it worth pursuing ecstasy

And body talk reveal your
Personality.
True conversation
Reveals your hidden man's heart

There once was a gambler named Mark
At cards he was somewhat a shark
he missed his cue
lost his juju
Now he sleeps in a public park
William Strode loved to recite aloud
a public orator so proud
Chaplain to the Bishop of Oxford
perhaps he read his poetics to his 'Lord'
A Chinaman had an "election"
That warranted public inspection
No one was fooled
Some ladies drooled
And promptly applied their affection.
With complete freedom
to wear anything one wants
in public:
hamster ball.
Very dapper
sauntering the boulevard
in one's hamster ball.

My echoes return
from barren canyon walls,
absent of the flattery,
I often seek from mirrors.
