Von Kahlo has chosen the topic of shame in free verse poem for the August 2015 monthly contest. You may write in any style or poetic form a poem about shame- what is it and how do you resolve it or not
With age comes slacking
A time of lacking
We stand in time
Remain in line
This can be bad
And even sad
When mistakes we make
And people hate
Cuz they don’t understand
They don’t see the plan
Our minds still tick
But fog is thick
Filled with memories
Of children and trees
Babies born
Husbands are torn
What once was gay
Can be sad, I say
So when I go out and do
Something stupid or rude
Please take in stride
Don’t scold don’t chide
Don’t sit me on a shelf
When I embarrass you and myself
Just cover your grin
And hold it in
Put your arm around me
Tell me words I can see
This is what we need.
