The greatest place I'll ever see my rhymes,
The place I'll surely brag about the most,
Is not, as one might guess, The New York Times.
It isn't the Atlantic or the Post.
It isn't on the shelves with Wilde or Scott
Or other honored masters of their quills.
I'd have to say the most prestigious spot
Is right between your wallet's dollar bills.

This may be on here twice--if so, sorry about that. Computer error.

Our true successes are manifest in how the people we love view ourselves, I think, and Jazmin, bless her heart, would be a fool to disregard such good writing. "Of a Troubled Irish Rose" has had such a spot in my wallet for a long time.

Broken Bird

She watches life from her cage.

Adonis, this is a very good write.
I hope that she puts your poems in her
wallet, too.

And the sign flashed out its warning.  In the words that it was forming.  And the sign said the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls.

Your poem reminded me of these Simon and Garfunkel lyrics.
