A poem I actually like

Locks
by Neil Gaiman




I like it because it has a story and it's about stories and it is also a poem but not twiddly with it. Also because I tend to like NG stuff and he's therefore built up a lot of credit.

Roses are red,
Violets are purple,
Which is a very hard word to rhyme
And makes me happy that on February the 14th we don't traditionally have to give each other oranges.

These are gorgeous. And I love them.

And I was not bored throughout. Which is impressive.

Neil Gaiman is pretty cool.

I like Hugh Mearns' little poem -

Yesterday upon the stair
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away

I know that one
I like that one
creepy and puzzling
... er, which are good things?
... I'm odd.


I also just noticed a thing, which is that I hadn't thought of it as a poem. Which might explain why I can't think of poems that I like. Because if I like them apparently they aren't tagged as poems.
