me and you, you and me
what a trip the two of us can be
we have each other to turn to
which is relatively great
but how come you're always late
lightning can not compare to your wrath
you are simplicity within itself
yet at times you are the hardest math
me plus you usually equals craziness
but I must admit without you I'd be a mess
in my life likely you are the blood
but on the other side of the coin
if I were the Mississippi river
then you'd have to be it's mud
in other words don't leave me mud!
(written Nov. 21,1988 for my then good
pal Cathy Westfall)
hey, i like you're stuff, but it is a little all over the place. I think that if you were to take one theme (no matter how trivial or simple) and splinter off of that as the center, then you could really do some damage. Remember that punctuation is how the reader interprets the poem. Use it to help us flow through your work. It is really good though. I like the abstract undertones.
