Poem
I am a simple poet.
I haven’t often appeared on stages
I haven’t participated in competitions
nor have I been invited to festivals.
I don’t seek the critics
for there’s nothing significant to offer.
All I wish to express
is written here in the form of verses.
I won’t place a hat on my head
or carry a leather bag on my shoulder
or hold a book I haven’t read.
I neither distort the language nor bend it.
I wander through a city
that doesn’t know me
growing on its sidewalks like a white ghost.
I am a simple poet
capturing various images
encountering different people
falling for many women
and I share my secrets with one.
I may never reveal her name to anyone
but I keep her picture alongside my card
as an identity for a
simple poet.
