You ask me why I slither,

Upon the dirty gorund,

Why I do not stand up,

Walk like you, be proud,

You question as to my motives,

For hiding underground,

Answers are no insight,

Still they are profound,

You ponder as to why I,

Stare at that puddle on the floor,

Filling, filling, slowly,

Yet you still ignore,

Curious as to why I try to,

Sleep upon the floor,

You chuckle as to my knocking,

At the bottom of your door,

You continue to wonder,

Your curiosity grows,

Every towering moment,

You stare down your nose,

I rebel against your requests,

No remorse to show,

Why do I look down?

Cause I feel so low?

wow...very good...very well written...you stand tall in your poetry...nice work
take care, janet marie

 "...we were born before the wind...also younger than the sun...
and my heart you have won...as we sailed into the mystic...
I just want to rock your gypsy soul-
just like in the days of old...
and together we will float-into the mystic...
Van Morrison
