XXIII by Melina Raven Maness DieboldI will meet 23 as Me
not with Joel upon my arm
Not with nor any other
malapropian mate to disarm
I shall meet 23 as Me
with no one to sap my breath
and blow out my candles for me
No unenamored inamorato
to waste my wish upon
I shall meet 23 as Me
I will meet 23
as Melina

Posted by JD Clay on 12/12/04 at 05:02 PM Ohhhh yeahhhh!!! This poem leaps across the stage with great vibrato! I like the positive energy and strong communicative style right down to the take-charge title in Roman Numerals.
