A Singular Person Poem by David Whalen

I like to think that
I'm a singular person

Just not singular in any
Outstanding way

I like to think tho', that
There's something special

In the little things I do
And in a few of the things I say

I'm a man of few words
But a bearer of many emotions

I love wee little birds
And great briney oceans

Rustic ol' bridges
And ol' magic potions

Pump organs in ol
Churches…Sunday devotions

Yep…I like to think
That I'm a singular person

A peculiar man
In my own peculiar way

Not really outstanding
In my prosin' and versin'

A man of few words
And I'll keep it that way
