Poems by James Merchant : 9 / 28
Honey Melon
I drink round at the lid
As September peeks a weary eye
At my indecency barely hid
You buy my tie
I guess it makes me look so formal
If the hedgehog hatched his shadow
A business tie wouldn't hurt
Until I met my maker
He's a solemn maker
With honey melon eyes
From all the chaos
That churns to a satisfactory pulse

I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings
Maya Angelou
From the fig leaf to a tie to hide our indecency,
we are born naked to the world and our spirit will
return naked to our maker. Not sure if this was
your meaning but I liked the last two lines.
Thought provoking poem. Good write.
