Poem Artwork

 
 
The long-haired old men step out in the sun
Of Orange my hometown and I am one

Long-haired old men stepping out not dead yet
One with a hat on and two with a bow
To tie back their hair three I do not know

Professors at the university
Or paranoid schizophrenics like me

Long-haired old men walking I have not met
Mine hangs down freely and gets in my face
But I like it there in its rightful place

Like Orange my hometown out in the sun
Just starting here when I thought I was done

I like the name of your town, Orange. I like your name and I like your poem. I like your long hair, and I do hairdressing. So there! Ha, very neat writing. Playful, honest, fun. I'm glad I read it. ~~ DIana
