Weirdos

Weirdos

A Poem by emipoemi

Weirdos make the best of friends:

They’re always up for fun-

A child still dwells within their souls

Beneath the moon and sun.

 

Weirdos make the best of friends:

They’re all they need to be-

They’re round, they’re flat, they’re far from square,

Except in honesty.

 

Their heads may not be firmly straight,

Their feet may not turn right.

They’re wise - in cracks; they’re quick - in wit;

They’re bright when given light.

 

Yet Weirdos make the best of friends:

They’re constantly on call-

They care, they share, they but require

Your friendship most of all.

Weirdos are great.... to be honest I think we are all weirdos deep down within but some of us are so confident to share it with the world. It's great to be weird and unique than fit within a status quo. Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed the read!

absolutely! And the status aint so quo - people just don't want to admit it.
Great poem! I suppose I've been thought of as a weirdo from time to time. This poem makes it okay. 😀

Of course it's ok. Weirdos tend to be ostracized because everyone is jealous of their personality..... read more

Flows well, a good read. I've known a few weirdos in my time. No doubt they think me one as well. :)

My teenage daughter calls me a weirdo for frequenting this place.
You don't need me to tell you how we'll written this is and how easily it trips off the tongue. You wouldn't have posted it if it was anything but :)
You're good.

Weridos make the play, only they can relate! I like the pace of this poem, it bounces. What do you think the shape of honesty is?

I really enjoyed the line
"They're wise- in cracks; They're quick- in wit"
because the structure made me think of a person finishing another person's sentence. I am very proud to be a weirdo, by the way. (:
