When Strikes the Mood…

I never seem to notice mood,

In poems by others, myself being usually so dark,

People do say that they can see a dark mood,

I can only see what the person does write,

No reading do I do between the lines…

Blank space does appear betwixt the lines,

I see nothing on the average short of rhymes,

The poet does write of emotions,

The future or past spoken of sometimes,

Past knowledge passed on of ancient crimes…

Wish I do that I had the ability,

To see what others see when reading anything not silly,

To notice how one person does come across,

To realize when another does show themselves to be chilly…
