I came across this poem about 12 years ago during a period of my life when things were not going well, it amused me. All this time has passed and it still amuses me.
I PICTURE
MYSELF NEAR A STREAM
BIRDS ARE
SINGING IN THE COOL CRISP MOUNTAIN AIR,
NOTHING CAN
BOTHER ME HERE, NO ONE KNOWS MY SECRET PLACE.
I AM IN TOTAL
SECLUSION,
THE SOOTHING
SOUND OF A GENTLE WATERFALL FILLS THE AIR WITH A CASCADE OF SERENITY
I CAN EASILY
MAKE OUT THE FACE OF THE PERSON I AM HOLDING UNDER THE WATER
Now THAT is poetry. It eases you in, makes you feel all comfortable and secure, and then deals the killer blow. I like it! Who wrote it?
