How would someone become a KNOWN poet? I mean, we all know its a dead art but I have just become a "published" poet. (applause) Thank you, thank you very much.
I want to see if anyone can help with becoming somewhat known.
Here is a free poem (not in my book) for any poetry lovers:
This Time the Angel Touched Me
This time I was walking on the sidewalk, the angel approached her
It wasn’t the first time she asked me to do it
She told me she had it in the dumpster
I wasn’t ready to have my life taken over her drama
A lifetime story
This time I drove for hours actually thinking about it
She made sense
And so did her bruises
I walked for miles after getting home
No sleep
No food
I couldn’t eat
And there were no good dreams on-
In my mind-
I looked deep inside me, and couldn’t fine anything
So I drove by her place
Saw shadows
Movement
Not the usual household deeds
I walked to the window and peeked in
A disgruntled memoir of a picture sat in my mind
As I saw nothing unusual
I started back to the car and then I heard sirens
Closer
Closer
I couldn’t move- I was stuck between notions of negativity
So I strolled to the backyard
As blue lights were bright over the roof
I saw blood on the back door
And footprints in the snow
I thought about entering the house
But she ran by me screaming
“He’s over here. He’s by the tree!”
The police walked by me
They stood over him
I looked into her eyes, as if she wasn’t even there
I stared
As no one even cared I stood so close
She didn’t even wonder how I got there
So I went to ask her what happened
And as the body got closer
And closer
The paramedic walked right through me
Literally
And I looked at the stretcher
And so did she
This time I was walking on the sidewalk and the angel touched me.
