Poem Artwork

Tell no man
That I am a Poet,
For fear that they'll snap my pen in two
And convince me
That I had nothing important to say.
Tell no man.

Tell no man
That I've fallen in love,
For fear that they will inject my heart
With raw hatred
For anything lovely and meaningful.
Tell no man.

Tell no man
That I believe in God,
For fear that they will exorcise Him
Out of my soul
So I'll become like the other puppets.
Tell no man.

Tell no man
That I enjoy music,
For fear they'll make me live in silence
Deafened to songs
That once enticed my clumsy feet to dance.
Tell no man.

Tell no man
That I have bad habits,
For fear they will poison me with lies
And deny me
The right to have some enjoyment from life.
Tell no man.

Tell no man
That I am a Poet,
For fear that they'll snap my pen in two
And convince me
That I had nothing important to say.
Tell no man.

Tell no man.

Poet, You wrote "Tell No Man" with words from the lexicon of Your wise soul. This is an intriguing inspiring poem.

Healthy Blissful Day, Poet!

Hi Karla:

Yeah, just tell it like it is! Hhhhhmmmmm....okay, we, the poets, hold the most powerful pens, and we allow no one to rip us off from our writings.

The world is a better place because of poets.

Too late, we already know you are a great poet and if any of them try to snap your pen in two, just tell me, I will deal with them quite harshly...Ed
