PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

~Different~

We have just met. Friends for a week,

and now, as we sit by a lake I watch her.

She has pad of paper and pen. She quietly writes.

I see her occasionally scribble over something

then replace it with something else. She is serious

about her creation. I like that. She's different

than the others. She doesn't bore me

with mundane conversation. Her hair just hangs there.

No make-up. No vanity. She's real. She's a thinker.

And then,

as she hands me the writing pad she asks:

"Does this poem make me look fat?"
