25/06/2020 – Poem a Day Compilation
You showed me your Instagram page –
Full of selfies and pictures of you with mates
With your shirt off whatever the weather,
Showing off your washboard abs
And a tan that can’t be healthy –
As if it was supposed to impress me.
Your friend noticed my waning interest
But I feared he was just like you –
A vacuous, self-absorbed wannabe
Who couldn’t hold a conversation
Beyond your latest workout routine –
But I was pleasantly proven wrong.
His wall was filled with pictures
Of sunrises, trees and birds –
A nature lover at heart
With a keen eye for detail –
And we talked for hours
About nature and the meaning of life.
You could learn a thing or two from him
About how to win over a girl’s heart –
By the sharing of a passion,
And talking to them instead of at –
And I hope these words inspire you
To expand the focus of your obsession.
