BIG POPPY
This is a poem, called "Big Poppy."
Likely it needs more work, as it's very free verse, but I like it as is.
BIG POPPY
For those who don't know, our celebrated Red Sox former first baseman,
Now designated hitter,
Is David Ortiz.
He's also known as Big Papi.
I was at an art opening,
Many celebrated water colors and oils by a middle aged woman whom we were soon to meet.
In the second exhibition room, on the far wall, was a large flower on a black background.
A card below stated simply "Big Poppy."
Then I heard the artist come in and I met her in the hall.
"I like your 'Big Poppy'" I said, "But it doesn;'t look anything like David Ortiz."
"Ha ha ha," she said, and she put up her hand and walked into the other room.
And I never saw her again.
I have that effect on people sometimes.
