Crazy Man

Author: cafetwo2010

I met a crazy man
in the park
He mumbled and jumbled
His words were dark
But there was a gleam
in his eyes which I
couldn't discern
Was this just madness
or was there wisdom
to learn?
I smiled at the man
not wanting to offend
I made my departure
never seeing him again
Many years passed
when one day I was
awakened
In a hospital I sat
with my memory so
shaken
The doctors said,' I had
lay in the dark'
'It was I said they, who
was crazy in the park.'~

The doctors said,' I had
laided in the dark'
'For I they said, was the
crazy man in the park.'

Your imagination amazes me cafe... I always enjoy your poetry.

Hi Cafe, it's always a treat to see all the great comments our CS corner poets share!~ This IS an intriguing bit of writing, I agree. So alert me to the next installment. We are a hungry bunch and not easily sated. Well not for long anyway. Words can be so many things. 'Tis why we savor them so readily. Blessings and thanks for the mind stir!~ Celtic

Ty gnj' The doctors are debating if I am to be allowed a pen just yet. They don't want me writing on the bed sheets..

hi Cafe..

You know I read an email about this very thing, but it was a cafe owner not making it up... there was this broken young lady whom was homeless she walked into this cafe and the owner took her in and fed her every day.. years and years went by and the cafe closed leaving the old man broke and homeless himself. he was sitting in a park one day and this very attractive lady came up to her and recognized this old man. she offered him a job for she was a executive at this very well known successfull corporation, he had no idea this was the same girl from years past. she offered him housing extra spending money for cloths and basically gave him the world.. this your poem even tho funny in text it certainly what comes around comes around....

kickit...

Ty Celtic' I kinda like the punch line in this story myself. Your humble servant..

Hey Kickit! That's a great story! It moves me to hear of such compassion and kindness. Those very human stories I think are the best kind of story. Thanks for sharing this and also for the fun time we had with your two line challenge.
