The time I told you

I was a poet

is etched into my memory;

you grabbed a pen and some paper

and poured pretty words into your

own concoction of

roses are red

violets are blue,

and I laughed because you thought

you were horrendous

but I begged to differ

because even the blind

could see you had

poetry in your soul.
