When people heard <br />that you sent me poetry <br />they commented that <br />you must be a wonderful and sensitive man <br />But these were not Shakespeare sonnets <br />or Robert Burns love concertos <br />These were Dorothy Parker devious cooing and <br />tenderly kissing her man all the while cheating on him, <br />and Nazim Hikmet guidance on <br />how to survive in prison. <br />These were poems that blasted the pores off my face <br />and suffused my veins with whiskey. <br />What a wonderful and sensitive man.<br /><br />Michael Philips<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/oh-no-not-another-love-poem/
