A New Poem: Rooftops

[SnowedIn]

Can I stand on the rooftops?
On stage?
Print it in a newspaper? (Have you ever even seen one of those?)
A billboard in Times Square?
A post on Quora? Insta?
How can I tell you?
That…

…from where I sit:

You are smart.
You are funny.
You are strong.
You are fierce.
You are independent.
You are vulnerable.
You have heart.
And soul.
In abundance.

As I sip my coffee I ponder fate and chance and how small our huge world is.

I am better because I know you.
The world is better because you’re in it.

I’m putting the coffee down and headed for the rooftops.

Not meant to be offensive, but it rhymes. My limerick to snowedin.

There once was a guy named Snowed

who wrote poems like a horny toad.

But though he tried,

they all just died,

In fact they really blowed!

I know, mine blows too. 🤢🤢

[SnowedIn]

Spit my coffee out laughing,
Reading your poems is better than graphing.
But I take issue with toad
I have a much bigger load
Than any such critter might have.
I don't know you too well,
So I'll spare you the hell,
Of reading much more than this.
Suffice it to say, you have brightened my day,
And, for that, I blow you a kiss.

[Daniela1982]

Well, still didn't get it right but what the hell? 😂🤣

[SnowedIn]

Tough critic. ;) Did you want a limerick in reply? At least I gave you rhyme.

[Daniela1982]

🤣😂😁

[Daniela1982]

Everyone on G@G is a critic. :)

[SnowedIn]

They are VERY much critics. That can be a good thing. Or a bad one.

Love this one

"I’m putting the coffee down and headed for the rooftops."

The best ending this poem could get, carved with gold on diamond. So beautiful and mesmerizing. A wonderful work from wonderful person!

[SnowedIn]

You are far too kind and I'm grateful for the thoughtful comments.

That ending did work out, didn't it? :) Sometimes it's better to not overthink it. It just came out. I ran with it.

[Apulu_Imback]

It's simple and charming, I mean the ending. Sometimes what comes off naturally from your sub conscious mind is the true masterpiece.

[SnowedIn]

I needed that. Thank you.

[Apulu_Imback]

You're welcome! I'm glad I could help!

[Daniela1982]

You know, I just noticed her name - put it on -why did I never notice that before? I guess you see a person so often that the name passes by my eyeballs without thinking. If I had half a brain I'd be dangerous. 😜😝

@Daniela1982 ... lmao... it took me months to pick that one apart.
