Musings by The Poet Loriet

Your Poem

I wrote a poem for you,
couldn't wait to read your reply,
and you told me...

Honey, I can't critique,
can't comment on
your poem...

It's too real,
too close to home,
too beautiful...

so there it sits
all alone on a blank page
making me look like
a fool once again.

Don't you know that
I live for your words?
They're my daily bread.
You left me speechless.
