Your Humble Poet

in feet of snow
on wings of miles
by travelling
I found my ways
to be with you
in hearts and hearths
on Christmas Eve
and other days
and when the dark
comes gathered in
and spooky winds
blow candles out
I cupped my hands
about your ears
and whispered:




DAMN!!!

I almost had a poem, there. Fast as I could type it, a genuine poem!

Crap.

and whispered...

NOBODY CHIME IN! I'm not reading ANY COMMENTS on this one!

Not 'til I figure this.

I'm not looking for a rhyme, I'm trying to find a reason.

Darling, you can't rhyme OUT with OUT! This is not a song by the Counting Crows, it is an installment of Your Humble POET!

WE HAVE STANDARDS HERE TO UPHOLD!! VITAL POETIC ISSUES WHICH MUST NEEDS BE DEALT WITH!
