PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

[after the style of J. V. Cunningham]

This fact, on that day, you made clear to me:

you neither liked, nor sought, my company;

nor would we, any more, take meals together.

We were made roommates by mere circumstance.

Acquaintance, such as that, need not advance

into friendship---nothing in common, whether

or not we take the same course the next morning

(again that is only an act of chance).

One course in common, then; different social classes

caused, I think, your far too candid scorning,

and did not cause the idle time too easily pass.

Avoiding you, I sought the library's quieter courtesy.

Starward (yes, Starward)
