A Passer By!

A Passer By!

Have you not read my poem?

Summary Disposal

For all your comments
Young, child!
Only a person
who has felt
and
has seen emotion
can write poetry
off the cuff
As I do
I hope
You know that too.
Carry on writing poetry my child
some day you will remember me
for showing light
In the hours of darkness
but take care
I can be but of limited help
To thee
As the whole of humanity
belongs to me
I am only
a lonely friend
a passer by
but you will never know me
or ever see
for gradually my child

I now pass by!!!

Style / type:

Nice use of the archaic term "Thee" a favourite of mine in modern poetry, makes me want to go and dig out my old Leonard Cohen records. Did you write this one for yourown child. But then you would never pass yourown child by. So maybe it is for all children. A tender hearted poem I think here. Nice work. John

I have no such handicapped child
But a young poet
17 years kid
In UK
Is dumb
And
Can’t walk at all
But her poetic ability
Surpasses many
So i tried to inject positivity in her
And i am happy to say
I succeeded
And
Then she read
Every one of my poems
And
Made a sweet poem
In each one
For me
An adorable she

God may help her too
I pray daily tis true

loved
