Again, I am going to stress that these are all first draft poems. I don't like to edit the same day I write:)
Feeling Kumbaya-like Today
The world wasn’t made for a teacup
to be steeped in warmth and consumed by all
adding sugar and lemon to sweeten the taste
making the slightly bitter mouthful more palatable.
the world wasn’t made to be a train
barreling down the lonely stretches
from point A to B
No, the world was made for that smile and wave
from a friend across the street
the world was made to curl up with a warm puppy
a living, breathing, shedding foot warmer
the world was made for you and me to find one another
against all odds
your first line instantly impress me.
