For the poetry club at my school (SHUT UP!), I'm trying to create a new poem. It's to be titled: A Smile
Here's the part I'm starting with. It needs a lot of work:
Just stay for a while
Let me smile
Hear an old man, hobble and weak
to speak.
Deep, man, deep. THe poem will be through the voice of an old man wanting to speak out to the modern world but no one will listen. It gives the man great joy that the listeners will listen to him.
The world today:
a mess of grey
Does not need a penny
for a person's thoughts
For it's all about money
and wars long since fought
But for me I know
that children will grow
and they can change the world today:
A mess of grey.
So stop a while
to hear an old man,
and make him smile
So give me a hand
forget the age
and set the stage
Talk to me,
I'll talk with you
Let things be
and discussion true
Honor your elder
as your friend
For aren't we better
to make amends?
So you be my friend
I'll be yours
Let's talk and debate,
but mostly share
the joy that you have brought me.
It needs work...but it is done.
