Rebel Without A Pen

Rebel Without A Pen

A Poem by Mike Carson
"

Did James Dean ever write pantoums?

"

 

In the days before the poet was born
I was everywhere but not within
My switchblade hiding in my boots so worn
My mind was hellish bent on mortal sin
~
I was everywhere but not within
Running with the wolves seemed the thing to do
My mind was hellish bent on mortal sin
Youngish rebels with fertile fields to sow
~
Running with the wolves seemed the thing to do
In all the endless summer nights we raved
Youngish rebels with fertile fields to sow
I sought but never found the thing I craved
~
In all the endless summer nights we raved
My switchblade hiding in the boots so worn
I sought but never found the thing I craved
In the days before the poet was born
~

I started finding it the minute the poet was born...which takes on a completely different meaning now that my daughter is a poet, but I was referring to finding myself and the power within and the ability to shine my light.
