Poetry thread

Lotus

I quite like writing poetry and so I thought I'd start a thread - please post your poems here. The first one I want to share is one I posted on another thread recently, about autistic people being typecast.

It's called "I don't wanna be typecast"

I don't wanna be typecast, I'm not a Tinpot

Unimportant, inferior or worthless, I'm not.

I'm not a savant, no genius IQ

But I'm not stupid, I can learn stuff too.

Don't think there is no emotion there

I have empathy, consideration and care

I don't wanna be typecast, no matter what we do

We're all individuals, I'm me and you're you

  • How big is too small, how low is too tall, all things in their place, there is enough space.
    The beams are of oak, the space is quite old, new windows up front to keep out the cold.
    Some days cause the damp on glass to condense, hazing the view; the mice need some vents.
    A room is above the one underneath, the flowers all wait along with the wreaths.

    A counter to serve and bunches to make, it serves as a place in which to create.
    In watery jars the stems dip their toes, awaiting a home, to tickle a nose.
    There is a lily, there is a rose, there are some others with which they can pose.
    More stand outside still watching the day, the people who pass, the traffic at play.

    The plants in their pots some facing the rain, the sun they'd prefer will come once again.
    House plants all inside, should happier be, but facing due north less light do they see.
    A smile and a wave and sticky the door, more flowers to save I guess I'll have more.
    An interesting place I look forward to see, a place to go talk, my florist and me.

    Not many lines in and I thought is this the florist shop?

    It's so lovely to have such a special place to visit every week. 

    It's quite obvious how much these florist encounters mean to you. 

    What a wonderful environment to have a meaningful conversation in. Probably a bit chilly tho. (⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)
