Tough And True-Blue Poem by Practicing Poetess
Tough And True-Blue
I know of a man
Who's loyal, and true-blue,
But, don't you ever cross him!
You'll be sorry if you do.
Loyalty demands the same,
Despises disappointment.
So, don't let him down, or
His anger on you he'll vent.
Anger's just another way
He shows when he is wounded.
His bark is worse than his bite,
No matter how he sounded.
Beneath the tough exterior
There beats a heart of gold
His heart of gold is large enough
A lot of good to hold.
What I'm telling you is true
If you'd really like to know
Then take the time to know him
Give his heart a chance to show.

Becca, you seem to enjoy everything I do, even if it hits the ground with a resounding thud! Thank you so much for being one of my most ardent supporters! You're a sweetheart, and more than I deserve!
Beneath the tough exterior There beats a heart of gold His heart of gold is large enough A lot of good to hold. I don't think you are a practicing poetess, such lines can be written only by a polished poetess. A beautiful write!
Thank you so much, Akhtar. Yeah, you got me- - been doing this (writing poetry) since primary school, from about the age of 7 years. (Read my biography.) My Mum has 3 poems that I wrote, tucked away in the baby album she kept on me. One is written in crayon; one in ink; and one in pencil. Thanks for commenting!

When he is wounded he shows anger in contrast. Beneath the tough exterior heart beats and every beat is of gold. Heart should get chance to nourish emotion. Loyalty demands but loyalty but contrast comes within. This is an amazing, brilliant and perceptional poem beautifully presented...10
Thanks, Kumar! Sorry it took me awhile to read your comment and get back to you- - Real Life had me occupied! (As opposed to cyber-life.) Hope you are well!
