I wanted to write
something
pretty today
with haths and eres and erstwhiles
something substantial
Shakespearean
like when I walked out my door
and smelled the rain
and
thought about being ten
summer first drops on dry dirt
watching splats leave indentations
feeling rain fall holding open my
hands
mouth
drinking of the sky
or
like
the cobweb I saw
glistening with dew
early rays of sun accenting
the intricate work
and how I thought
amazing that this tiny creature
could create something as wonderful
as beautiful as this
or even
watching a movie with my daughter
how she wanted me so badly to get
it
to reaffirm what she saw
to share with me a moment
that moved her
and all I could say was
hon I can’t say I loved this movie
when I couldn’t understand half of it
a different language spoken
street talk but I did see the hope
the talent, the genius
I did feel the poetry in the rap
thank you
and her smile
I knew you’d love it
I did want to write something
beautiful today
something real
but I realize this
I am no Shakespeare
I am only
me
and I don’t get to play with ere’s and hath’s and erstwhiles
and all that pretty substantial stuff
but I know
this
somehow in my rough and tawdry fashion
I
brought you some
beauty
is that not
all
that
matters
yip that's all that matters ..sheaky Shakespeare twists my tongue and then I get confuuuuuused and my dictionary does not help..because mine is south african and not american...and then he get confuuuused and I don't know what I am reading..sooooo I rather stick to the authorden hen pen ...because they make better sense to meee
I dont try to write with fancy words it too ahrd for a simpl3e poet for me but I sure it might work for you for you are so excellently talented awesoem job on this fantastic poem
