  • So my friends wants me to write a poem about me and him...I haven't written in so long I don't know if I can just write on command like this. Any advice?

The letter to Said friend - poem afterthoughts

And now you have a poem all about you

I've before for others and mentioned you briefly

Bet you didn't know that

Bet you'll scour them now to find your presence

But this one, this one is all yours Love

Are you happy now? Do you like your poem?

Or had you thought yours would be happy?

With rhymes and stanzas and a joyous rhythm?

Had you thought that it wouldn't hold pain?

That it wouldn't be written from tears and anger

Had you truly thought that you hadn't hurt me?

Believed yourself as better than previously written about guys

 

So here's to you my friend,

The Guy Who Wasn't Supposed to Hurt

 

PS  a rhyme written just for you

It's a shame, you'll never live up to your name

You, my big strong dark man

Wow. That was good. It makes you think. And I like the name The Guy Who Wasn't Supposed to Hurt. What a coincidence, I know a couple of guys with the same name.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
