Poem of the Month
Not every poem made it into one of the books, but that doesn't mean they aren't worth sharing - so please enjoy this bonus poem! "By Now" I should be an expert at life by now; Lord knows I’ve had loads of practice. I should be an expert at laughter by now; I give myself mounds of material. I should be an expert at love songs by now; I hear them each time that you talk. I should be an expert at heartache by now, A numb decrescendo of dread. I should be an expert at poems by now, Seeing and telling the truth. I should be an expert at death by now, Another dream killed in its prime. I should be an expert at learning by now; I have three tassels to prove it. I should be an expert at healing by now; I have more scars than skin. I should be an expert at stopping by now, But I’m always ready to go. |
