Barnum Effect
Avery Sharp Dec 2012
Sunlight playing on my tapping foot
Wishing this bus could ride forever
The images seen through glass, flash and pass
Manifest into destination
And my stomach lurches
Butterflies for the past and future
This poem is for a class I'm taking where we need to put our public out in the public and get feedback so any comments are appreciated! Thanks!

I see things
Avery Sharp Dec 2012
I see things
No one else looks
I know the meanings

Pay attention to the small things
Little talks can read like books
I see things

Conversations defined by greetings
Feelings slip from hooks
I know the meanings

You can cave in all your ceilings
Body Language you mistook
I see things

High and low fill your feelings
From having no outlook
I know the meanings

Interactions are only dealings
Thieves, liars, and crooks
I see things
I know the meanings
This is a poem for a class that I'm supposed to put out to the public, so any comment you may have would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
This poem is a set-form Villanelle
