The Poet Laureat Poem by RIC BASTASA

The Poet Laureat



did you get his
message today
from across the
sea?

that life
is short
you need to
take a stop
along the way
and smell
the roses

in here
to be candid
the men
and women
and children
know that
too welll

and look
at them
the men
drink tuba
the women
spread
the rumors
and giggle
and laugh
and the children
still play
even in the
dark

as i dabble
in poetry

there are no
roses anymore
