Poetry by Mich
Can You?
can you see my scars
the scars i endured for years
can you heal them?
can you feel my broken limbs
the brokenness i lived through
can you mend them?
can you hear my pain
the affliction i experienced
can you make them go away?
For Sadje’s WDYS

I am Richard the lizard
A wise and withered wizard
Who stealthily slithered and delivered
His magic beyond heartaches and blizzards

Your lovely words do inspire me Mich … actually I have just expanded the words into a meaningful metaphorical poem (slightly satirical) … I like my piece .. so right now I am submitting it to “Spillwords” …
“Schoolyards and Lizards”
Enter Richard the lizard
A wise and withered wizard
Who stealthily slithered and delivered
His magic beyond pandemics and blizzards
Recreating a safe haven
An unsmeared and inured schoolyard
To be shared by the children
Without the National Guard
