Honey Melon Poem by James Merchant

Honey Melon

Rating: 3.7


I drink round at the lid
As September peeks a weary eye
At my indecency barely hid
You buy my tie

I guess it makes me look so formal
If the hedgehog hatched his shadow
A business tie wouldn't hurt
Until I met my maker

He's a solemn maker
With honey melon eyes
From all the chaos
That churns to a satisfactory pulse

Sounds like a life tainted by alcoholism; I detect sorrow and detachment from living. Intriguing composition, though I feel awfully saddened by it.

From the fig leaf to a tie to hide our indecency, we are born naked to the world and our spirit will return naked to our maker. Not sure if this was your meaning but I liked the last two lines. Thought provoking poem. Good write.
