I Just Smile
I hear the words
I see the lips that speak them
I feel the enthusiasm, energy
_
My mind is blank
My face expressionless
I've gathered no clues nor ideas
_
He looks at me
He repeats, with animation
My mind: a dark room with no light
_
A final attempt
Desperation, frustration
Obscurity; darkness deepens
_
Humbled
Shoulders shrug
Incomprehension
_
I just smile

David grew up in Mexico. He brings a unique perspective to life in rural Michigan. Most of his poems are written spontaneously, as things catch his attention or humor him. Some of his pieces are lighthearted while others broach deeper subjects. Coffee, DIY projects, and writing are his passion. Most his poems are structured, but he does enjoy writing free verse writing from time to time.
