Sunday Scribblings "Late"

Written for TotallyOptionalPrompts

FIRST THINGS FIRST

Sunday Scribblings

TOO LATE

(I FEEL FOR YOU)

I hope it's not too late for you

I feel the pain you’re going through

Sometimes you really have no clue

The hoops those clowns project at you

You paint your face but you’re still blue

These are the things I feel for you

If I were twenty-five oh yeah

With ice-blue eyes and auburn hair

If I could only be your man

I’d never ever let you down

These are the things I feel for you

I wish that you felt ten-feet tall

Then maybe you could scale that wall

It’s no consolation to you

But don’t you know I’ve been there too…

  10. "You paint your face but you’re still blue." How true this line is! Make-up is such an effective mask, or at least, we hope it is.

    I really like this poem!

  13. I like this very much. I'm glad you don't feel constrained to exact rhymes. The few slightly inexact ones add to the feeling of sincerity in this well constructed poem.
