Some Poets

[Nick]

some poets
when they write
it's their words
they look like colored chalk drawings I like the memories this evokes! makes poets seem like small children
on cement
on a sidewalk cement and sidewalk is a bit redundant, but I nonetheless like the way it reads
beautiful
artistic
delicate
folks stop and gaze
admire and walk around
nothin' wrong with that "nothin'". the carefree tone is pretty fun
then the dark comes everything from here down is great
their words cannot blaze guidance
are trampled without regard
and an errant shower
rebirths the grey
the hard grey
the hard grey that gleams dully
in the damp meterless dawn fantastic

I guess the only thing I just don't like is the repetition of "grey". It's a bit much.

One punch is a hit. Three punches is a beat down. I multipled "grey" for such an effect.
Just thinkin' y'all might wanna know so's you can get it.
Thanks for the comments.
