I just happened to notice I had a comment to moderate - didn't realize I had that feature turned on so I apologize to "Matt" of Huck's Ship blog. He posted a wonderful poem in the comments of one of my posts. He made this Angry Poet gush with a huge "awwwwww!" So here it is - not quite in the tone of this blog, but quite provocative. Many thanks to Matt for sharing this and I hope you'll visit again and post more or request to be a featured poet! Enjoy:

What's it say to me?
My name's Matt, ya see?
A Flintoid style Yankee
Live from Biloxi
Shipbuilder by trade
family man, father, husband
poems live in my heart.
Family's in V A
I toil alone for six months
Just one more week left
knowing he wouldn't,
drinking alone at the corner bar
I think of dad
cooling it
afternoon rain
boils the pool
Try as I might
I can't throw
my shadow higher
By the time
it reaches me
the thunder is over
on the glassy pond
insects skate at night
ripples across the moon
