Moved from a shack to a barn

I am, it would seem, a marked man

And if I’d spent any time at all
Looking into a mirror
I may have noticed it earlier

It was my image in a photo
That first brought it to my attention

The mark, that is

Not the “Mark of the beast”
Nor that of Cain

And not so much a birthmark
As I would think, a lifemark
Made from my own flesh

And it’s a Lu Lu, a Doozy,
A real Classic

A large “X” drawn across my face
And intersecting right, smack, dab
Between my eyes

Disconcertingly crosshair-like

So, perhaps this means
I am merely a chit, now cancelled

An item that been crossed off
Some celestial list

Or, my “X” is simply the signature
Of the illiterate god who fashioned me

Everyone with a strong face and strength behind that face, finds there's a target on it..... visible or not.

Ed, you're one observant son-of-a-gun....ya make me smile!

X marks the spot?
Where the treasure is hidden?

Yea, I'll go for THAT brand...



Because in your case, Sir...
it means its the spot from which
intelligent, intriguing, spectacular poetry
pours forth...

AHA!

Yes, X definitely marks the spot...
and then I shall ditto Mr. Richard, as Well...

Well, I'll be darned! There it is! That is the mark of excellence! ~ put there by a very literate God who made you in His image!

Enjoyed your poem ~ and looking at your intriguing face!

Warm hugs on this cold December day (at least it is cold in my neck of the woods!)

The glimmer of each individual
Is our own personal stamp
An invisible X which some can see
Which magnetizes one to another
That all infamous chemistry
And you sir…own the recipe!

I bet there is a queue for mirrors now and all the toilet doors are locked, with a queue outside locked in other and strange ways.

Reminds me a bit of a kid comic book hero in the UK - Desparate Dan who used to spit bullets and eat Cowhide pie complete with bull's horns.

Good write.

Very few people see the X I don't know if it's good or bad? It only means you are at another stage. Good write.
