Muriel Rukeyser Poetry Wall - Spring 2019

Submissions to the Muriel Rukeyser Poetry Wall in Spring 2019.

  • A Man Like Me

    Robert H., Lubbock, TX

    A MAN LIKE ME
    I believe you need a man Like me,
    A thought ful person, with a caring heart, who could lend a hand like me,
    He keeps you in mind no matter what his plans might be,
    Lying cheating, deceiving, it's a boy's duty to do
    those things,
    A man like myself wouldn't indulge in such games. I couldn't watch you cry and act like I didn't give a damn,
    No ma'am, that's not the kinda man I am when you need somε ONE to listen, I'll do my best. Go ahead and speak your mind.
    Get it all off your chest.
    One thing should always be clearly understood. When you're in my world, the bad is heavily out weighed by the good.
    There's no sense in being rude.
    Postitive vibes and a serene, mood,
    I'm just that typE OF dude. Back-rubs, in the bath tub, what can I SAY. How I would do your body; this I could speak on all day.
