A Nut
-- by L. B. Strawn - Copyright 1998 -- Poetman99@aol.com

I am a senior, 73 years of age. Also, I am a poet. Not just any poet, but a poet who writes easy to read, easy to understand poetry. Many are sentimental, some are comical, some sre about seniors, aging, grandparents, etc. I have seventeen books available, for senior centers, guest homes, etc. Here is a sample of my type of poetry:

You've heard of a walnut or a peanut,
Well, I'm a nut who loves to make rhymes.
The first two are surely good to eat
But my poems are good for sad times.

The first two can be very helpful
In keeping the body healthy and whole
But the third nut writes the poetry
Which helps to soothe the troubled soul.

If you're hungry, I'll feed you some nuts
To help your physical healing to start,
But if your soul needs some joy and cheer,
I'll write something to heal your aching heart.
