Poems
Jun 2015
No Place for a Poet
No room for me beneath the tree
With leaves obscuring all I see
A gentleman must sit and browse
No room for me beneath the boughs
No place I've found on open ground
No aging log in sunlight drowned
To rest my legs, to ease my pains
No place for me upon the plains
No spot in town to settle down
A concrete smudge of dark renown
With footsteps to a thousand beats
No spot for me on city streets
No home for I, up in the sky
Or cloudy nest on feathered high
To dither by with fancy free
Up in the blue, no room for me
No comfy place in outer space
Just rocks at meteroric pace
No aliens in cosmic cars
No space for me between the stars
I'm running out of options fast...
