Harmless we are until the day



Harmless we are until the day.
 Before the wind changed speed
 Before the day closed in
 Leaving us to be soaking in the rain.

 Having feelings of something not right
 Steamy drips ceiling collapsed.
 Sectioned in a loop whole of revenge
 The evil spread on the edge

 Cargo vans escaped the land
 Men gathered their ammo
 On a mission... death in hand.
 Before served cold as planned.

Jon Otano

The topics I write about are very diverse, so are the poetry styles I apply. I started writing poetry in high school in 05. I had written some poetry during class and showed some of my classmates who enjoyed it! I then was chosen to have my poetry in the school newspaper for each month! I done a lot of my work in the library. I met a woman who i showed my work to that worked there, and she said she knew a man that works on the radio! Then i was able to read two poems off the radio. A news reporter who appeared on the station as well decided to do a report on me and I've been writing ever sense. :) If Anybody want to friend request me on Facebook feel free too! Just look up Jon Otano I should be easy to find! :) more…
