The new ones

screaming goat.

There's all sorts of people,

colors, shapes, and sizes. 

We all know each other's names,

all except for one.

No one talks to her, 

for that reason.

How long until we do?

After all, she's not popular,

smart, or weird. 

What category do we put her in?

Guess she's just one of the new ones. 

She's not a victim,

though they say she wants attention.

She's just fine,

but we don't know what category

she fits into. 

She keeps to herself,

so who knows what she's like?

She's not dumb, smart, weird or popular,

so I guess she's just

one of The New Ones.

    great to see your Poetic growth
    appreciate the literary 'breath'
    you've used to pace this poem
    and the balance you found
    between abstract and characterisation
    a truly impressive Poem
    and your wording and tonality
    has the resonance of a wise soul
    keep striving, growing
    I very much doubt your poetic talent
    will ever let you down, your talent
    is unique!
    thanks for sharing, forgive me
    if my comment comes across as rude or derogatory
    I meant no disrespect, dear poet
    (just a fool, getting a little overzealous)
    lol

      I didn't think it was offensive at all! I love your comments, and kind of needed the compliment. Thx!
