This is no longer a pasttime
nor a diversion;

don't toss me a piece of paper
with a pen and a book on "how to"

dont pat my head
and say "nice poem litle girl"

READ my soul...KNOW who i am

I AM NOT FOOLING AROUND
ABOUT THIS ANYMORE

read me or lose me

dont ask me what im doing
if i go silent upon the
glory of the harvest hour,

i am not tuning you out
merely turning myself on,

i lost it too long
and slept on a shelf
with the shells that
became dust magnets

READ ME
KNOW ME
FEEL ME

this is no longer a diversion.

Okay, I believe you (really, really always have and did not believe it was a diversion).  I know many spouses (and children, and parents, friends, aunts, uncles, etc...) who just don't get this part of us.

*slowly coming back to sit down in my chair*

that yelling part made me jump back a bit...definitely grabbed my attention and stated with force that you are done foolin' around!

*smile*

An individual poem might be fun, to write and/or to read, but POETRY really is blood serious.

...now I will back away slowly until I am out of reach and NOT say anything about this being a nice little poem.

Yes, yes!  I know this desire.

You are too complicated to know, pretty blond poetess! There is too much to see when I look at you and your writing. But I like it and I understand what I can, the rest I just look at and like without understanding.

- some would say ... "if you're finished now, pass me a beer"

- "don't let the door bump your bootie"

- "do you know who you're talking to?"

- "oh baby, I love it when you talk like that"

- but me, I'm gonna say . . . I read you and I love every word;  I think I know you,
but I'm gonna walk easy from here on in; and I feel you honey, way deep inside .... you can remove your hand now...


Actually, all kidding aside, I think this is GREAT my friend.  Loved the emphasis you put on it.  Right on!!!

Strong statements:

Keep them coming.
