PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

he gave me

of all things

a cue ball

then turned and told me

I was beautiful

I could not believe the man

what unmitigated gall

he very well may ask me out

but I have to ask myself first

Oh will he really?

to even think to worry over such

a minor detail seems to me now

so very silly

besides

he's too quiet and cute for me

to ever truly suit

and with him being so painfully

shy to boot

makes this crazy point

in our supposed mutual attraction

seem to me almost moot

oh big deal

who cares

I'll go ahead and say it anyway

a truly lovely man such as he

should never attempt to alter

such an endearing attitude

no matter what I say

or how I go about saying it............
