Poets...storytellers

Poets…storytellers
Of love…life
Keypads and notepads
Happy kids…cranky wife

Poems of Lil’ kids and katydids
Drunken ol’ fools
With Pencil stubs, scrap paper
Used envelopes for tools

Stories of hot blood…cold ambition
Neon lights…Crystal chandeliers
lucky stars And honky tonk bars
old times… new times.. Bad and good years

Of The most beautiful girls In the world…crying…
Fireflies glow… nights in June
Emotions ablaze…heavy sighing
Silver spoons…golden moon

Picking fights with thunderstorms…
Fighting through wordsmith’s strife
Poet’s above all… must be storytellers
Spinmeisters of love and life
