The last poem.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)



Now you see me.

Now you see me, but now you don't. My days of writing poems are over, so move on over. I can't compete with writers and teachers. I have the feelings, but I don't have the words. You guys have the feelings and words. I'm like the little puddle that people walk through. But you guys are like the ocean. I thank the Lord for meeting you all. I never met so many nice people in all my life. So there is some good that comes out of it. I still like reading your poems, so keep on writing. Thanks a bunch.

    Noooo. Keep writing and sharing. Even if you only reach 1 person not 100. You have to write for only yourself. What matters is that you felt an emotion, put it into words and have the courage to share it. Don’t give up.
