HER CABLE-KNIT SWEATER
You know that poetry,
Like sculpture, is meant to be…
A way to work
Out when over-perked,
Reality sensibly.
–
The sight of her lovely sweater
On her an attention-getter…
A wintry day
With sudden HOORAY!
I was in love, though I knew better!!!
–
I happened to wear one too,
Wore it out til it wouldn’t do…
A High School sweater
That can’t hold together
Forever, feels so cruel.
–
Like I said, worked out my feelings
Of attraction through artistic dealings…
Poetry is faster
Than shaping plaster,
Less embarrassing than cartwheelings!
–
I know it is okay
To have feelings this way…
Inappropriateness
Never will bless,
Creativity saves the day!
