"She Said Write a Me Poem" by Ace Boggess

I misheard write a tree poem,

thought I’m not a tree person,

I’m a bush person; I’m not

a nature person, I’m a nurture person—

which was what she wanted:

words to help her sense love

like baby talk she feeds her pug,

more soft turns of phrase

scented with cologne,

a stanza or two on how she

wears enchanting scarves &

makes a tasty latte.

She hopes to feel appreciated

for her efforts. What choice

but to give her what she wants.
