Her Love Was A Tin Cup Poem by Arsene Hodali

Her Love Was A Tin Cup



Her love was a tin cup.

She held it out to her sleeves.
Farther even!

She shook and rattled it.
Look at it! look at it!

Her love was a tin cup.
A beggar’s kind of love.

Demanding attention.
Demanding affection.

Demanding charity.

Her love was a tin cup.
And I found out that

My pockets were empty.
