POEM: SECOND LOOK
This is my composition for the CPC Saturday Share poetry challenge. Angel Love’s featured line is the first one in this poem.
SECOND LOOK
Things are not always as they appear.
They can look worse till you come near.
Some look better after drinking beer.
Sometimes a big front hides a small rear.
A closer look may relieve your fear.
You may feel trapped, and it’s unclear:
“How the heck do I get out of here?”
It might even bring on a tear.
To this notion you should adhere:
You will make it if you persevere.
The second stanza was off topic
Which if you think, is quite ironic.
But first impressions can play a trick
It may take longer for it to click.
Keep at it, soon the truth will stick.
