I’m OK
but 
It hurts

 

Men

We can’t 
Give birth
So we
Play with our hair

 

In Praise Of

It was
Enough
Just to be
In her presence

Hi Robert,

I have so many first lines to poems that came out of a drunken thought. These three snippets remind me of such scribbles made on notepads only to be disgarded when sobriety kicks in.

So this gave me a wry smile. Of course I don't know your intention but that is what you poked in my tiny little mind.

David
