I'm sticking with you, poetry

Tom Dylan


Notice of absence from Tom Dylan
Sorry if there is a delay in responses. Sometimes life gets in the way. As John Lennon said, life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

I’m sticking with you, poetry.

I think we should work on our differences,

we should forget the fact that

we move in different social circles,

that none of my friends like you,

that they all disapprove of our relationship.

 

I’m sticking with you, poetry,

even though sometimes

I’m not quite sure of the point

that you are making,

and sometimes I wish

you’d just spit it out,

and say what you mean.

 

I’m sticking with you, poetry,

because when it’s good,

it is out of this world,

we have a connection

that’s like family,

like falling in love,

like having a backstage pass

to see the best band in the world,

because there are times when

only you understand me,

times when you speak

the truth that I desperately need to hear.

    • Tom Dylan

      I am still much more of a story writer rather than a poet, sometimes I think, what on earth am I rambling on about. 🙂 Today I am of the mind that yeah, I will not be breaking it off with poetry just yet. Thanks as always for your comments. Cheers.

          Here here! I'll vote for that. I love the way that you have personalized poetry and made it a lover. I feel the same although none of my friends or family approve either. I and poetry eloped long ago after a prolonged affair.

          • Tom Dylan

            Yes, my friends really do not understand my love of poetry. Glad it is not just me. And love the way you carried the theme on in your comment, Soren. Thanks as always for your comments. Really appreciated.

            Dear Tom, so many don’t appreciate the value of poetry. Stick with it. It has been a great friend to me for many years. Enjoyed what you had to say here.

            • Tom Dylan

              Thanks for your comments, Cassie. My relationship with poetry is rather new. I have always been more of a story writer but there is something magical about the form. Thanks again.

                        I understand everything you say.
                        There are some People I wouldn’t mention that I write Poetry, in case of funny looks. Like going into a Music Store and in a loud voice asking for a ‘Little Mix’ Album and damn the consequences.
                        And the Relationship between Poetry and Writer is well observed. Poetry is a good friend, Companion. Fine Write.

                        • Tom Dylan

                          Mate, I love the Little Mix analogy. That is exactly it. A lot of people know I write stories, but only my closest circle know I dabble in the dreaded poetry. Thanks a lot for your comments. Really appreciated.

                        • Cheeky Missy

                          Hear ye! Hear ye! Three cheers!!! There's a very good reason, but I'll spare you for today. Delightfully rendered with such a winsome poignancy and delectable imagery and spirit. Thank you so very much for sharing!
