Description
Here I stand, king of fools.A freak, a geek, a suave gentleman.
Breathless with anticipation.
Oh wondrous inner beauty,
Wise beyond your years.
My fear is that you see within,
Or is it that you see?
What can you see before you now,
That makes you smile into my eyes?

Who reads my poems, anyway?

I love the expression on her face...the whole concept. Your frame is great.

Whoops, didn't mean to submit that yet... Ah well...
I meant to add that her body language and expression seem rather surprised and taken aback but not unpleased...
Well done, especially like the characters on their shoulders...

Thank you! I wanted to represent all those nagging little voices we have in our heads when we meet someone. I'm glad you read my poems. I often wonder who, if anyone does.

I should actually comment on your poems. I've read 4 so far. I find them rather lyrical.

heh, thanks. Most likely that's because my first forays into writing were songs. Then essays then short stories then 13th and now poetry.
I should probably post the one I'm working on writing music to, huh?

er, yes. It's called 13th Circle. I often just say 13th. Sorry.

I've always wondered. Do you read my poems?

I read everything you write, you are quite the wordsmith you know!
You have many gifts, writing is one of them. I am a literary snob so I assure you that it is a compliment

Very interesting. Requires lookin' and thinkin' like all good art. I like the "voices" in their ears.

Thank you! That's what I always go for in my works. The deeper thought.

I dont really understand the poem, but the art is very good! I don't really know what to critique.

When you meet someone, maybe you think you like him. You're nervous, you're all mexican jumping beans in your belly. You're afraid he'll see what a freak you are. But what if that's what he sees? Would be be smiling into your eyes if he knew the real you? Maybe he does like me. Am I smiling too much? Do I look like an idiot? Just relax, you're gonna mess it up.

I read this one.
Entertaining, in a cerebral way. I imagine a second panel, a diptych, containing the same situation from the woman's perspective. She would be the "geek, fool/lady", or however one imagines her inner self. And the voices would be suitably switched too. The poem would require two voices; this would answer the poems question.
