Well, here is one of his **brilliant** and **deep** poems...

Enjoy!

STONES

MET BY A LAKE NEAR THE SUN
YOUR MOUTH AND EYES, ARMS
AND LEGS, MELTED AS THOUGH
WE'D KNOWN EACH OTHER WELL
AND NEEDED ONLY REKINDLE
WARMTH OF THE FAMILIAR.
AS IF PATIENCE WERE REWARDED
AND NOW WE'D SHARE EVERYTHING.

AFTER THE FLOWER BATH
PETALS CAUGHT IN HAIR
ON THE DRAIN COVER.
HE MISSES HER.
CORSAGE SAVER
KEEPER
OF CHILDREN’S ARTWORK,
WHOSE BLUE-HOLED FLESH
IS USED TO PARTING WITH SACRIFICES
TO BOYS’ TRIALS
AND MEN’S DESIRES,
AND WONDERS NOW
WHAT THERE WAS
TO BE AFRAID OF.

Usually, one must peruse the scribblings in a high school yearbook to read poetry of such a caliber.

Thanks! It was absolutely everything I expected it to be.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!

That sounds like something someone would right for thier 8th grade girlfriend. Then she would tell all her friends how he's so deep and thoughtful.

Huh?????

That's not a poem. That's clumsy prose awkwardly broken up.

HEY! Where's the warning to
strap yourself into a
Poetry Appreciation
Chair before
reading?
