A Poem© Tony Fallon 092218.

A Poem is a short story
But sometimes it is long
The story may be gory
Or maybe right or wrong

The poet may not be attuned
To other peoples moods
Or may feel marooned
When he winds up in feuds

And so puts down on paper
His raw or simple facts
His details of the caper
And often he attacks

Humans can be sordid
And go slinging mud
And if not rewarded 
They may go for blood 

Next day they are ridiculed
By both friend and foe
But their anger has cooled
And they are lying low
