At A Writer's Workshop Poem by Gabhriel Londe

At A Writer's Workshop

Rating: 5.0


The stained dark beige walls stare at me.
They think they know me,
So they start to close in
To get a better look,
And I tell them to back off.

They don't know me,
No one in this room knows me,
But they think I am a poet.
I might be,
But I'm not even sure that I am.

What makes them so sure
That my front can be trusted?
If I hit the arrogant, foolish girl next to me
Over the head with her stack of half-used notebooks,
Will they then see me as something
Closer to who I am?

Probably not.
There are some poets
That would do that.

I stand against the cosmic Latte colored wall, my left leg crooked up behind me, holding my stance- Watching, like a chameleon- I blend in with the stains, unnoticed. Bored of all this hum-drum ho-hum, I'm ready to leave this poetic dance- But she catches my eye... She is not like the others- thinking to myself, asking myself why? Gabhriel, I was so take with your write, I placed myself in the room... to see if a difference could be made... You tell me? Graet Ink! Really.; -) -Kelly.

Wonderful... absolutely so lovely... made me grin a rebellious poet letting her imagination run riot... i love the way you humanised the wall and gave it more personality than the girl next to you... bravo dear lady.. karen
