Scorpio Poet

Scorpio Poet

Her appearance changes with the

Seasons,

She loves noir fiction stories,

And often she feels a little backward

In crowded rooms and spaces,

Weekend afternoons are for wandering

Into shabby shops, hiking in the wilderness

Reserves, and sipping cheap wine.

She is somewhat cynical and always

Distrusting until proven wrong,

She often forgives and doesn't plan ahead

Most of the time.

A favorite place is with a friend

In a bar or a pub drinking a craft beer

With loud music in the background enough

To have a catch-up conversation.

She looks for lovely old architecture

And haunted places daily,

And always appreciates the hospitality

In public places.

Blue-peaked mountains flecked

With snow,

catch her interest

Hills and valleys are also intriguing

And keep her fascination.

She likes to be late for parties

And sneak in among the others.

Old postcards and stamps

Are admired by her.

Rain washes away her sorrow

At times, and it also can make her

Sad, sleepy, and craving a hot cup of tea.

Her creative whims keep her living

And enjoying her life. --"J. E. Cook ©2018

Thank you for reading!

Reviews

Reads like a piece of self reflection; a poetic revelation of the poet herself.

I am not one for the starsign hogwash, so i have no clue as to what the characteristics of a Scorpion are supposed to be, but from your poem you have given your readers a little opened window into the artist you are, warts and all.

I enjoyed the description and the poetic portrait. Nicely conceived.

For your insight

Very descriptive and confessional. I can see a story unfolding to the readers. Some snapshots of her life. Wonderful you are back writing.
