I Have to Tell You
In honor of my new venture into the world of making art, I have an original poem which is a take off of This Is Just To Say by William Carlos Williams.
I HAVE TO TELL YOU
I have taken
the blank paper
you kept in your desk
and which
you were probably
saving
for masterpieces
of your own
Forgive me
there were colors
beautiful colors
waiting to escape.

The Poetry Friday round-up is here this week so please leave a link to your post in the comments and I’ll round them all up through-out the day. (If you read this blog on Facebook, please come over here and leave your link so I don’t miss it.)
(NOTE: When you leave your link, please help me out by putting your name/blog name, name of the poem, and a permalink to the entry, not just a generic blog entry. It saves me the time of having to click through to every single blogger that left a comment. Thanks! I should have put this in the original message.)
