A FUN LOVING GUY

He stole hearts and he was smooth, but something is amiss----

FUN LOVING GUY

 

She was only a poor workman`s daughter

Quiet as the morning`s dew

She longed for the rapture she found in words

Sadly she found only you

 

The gigolo posed shirtless and smooth

Aloof the kids called him cool

He wrote all these beautiful words

The words that made poor  Angela  drool

 

Around here they called him a poet

Down at the hardware we called him a fool

He spewed incense in words and joined a group

Of sleek and slimey males by the pool

 

These poets all spoke in a rapture of words

Angela poor innocent girl

Preened and adjusted all that she owned

Unknowingly adoring his curls

 

The day came when out of the blue

She confessed that she needed this jewel

Angela now stolen from out of our world

Angela lured away by this fool

 

When Angela thought him to propose that day

For he was a poet you know

She listened for his voice a soft quiet glow  

Instead she heard them tell her "he`s gay".

I enjoyed reading this poem... I was feeling truly sorry for the girl until the end of the poem. Then I could not help but laugh. The ending was entirely unexpected. Well penned.

Flowed well. And I blew coffee through my nose at the end. Well done.

Cheers!

Hahaha! Very comical ending. I like the message of this piece. I've been here many times; falling for the poet. The flow was outstanding! Kudos

Poor girl.. this is kind of funny but also sad.. she did not realize this until after she was so feverishly drawn.. shows that we always need to take a step back to reality in between.. liked this and there really is some meaning there.. don't judge by appearances.. get to know better first! Thank you for sharing!
