Lawerence Mize, Sr. - The Old Man

A frail old man
Sat in the corner alone
A quiet poet
Waiting to go home

The coffee house
Hosted his book signing event
People came
People went

His book of verse
For all to see
Sat on the table
For anyone to read

The poet waited to give his pitch
For someone to give his book a try
No sales today
Just passers by

Lawerence Mize, Sr.
