Hacienda

I am just

an average man

who tries to write verse

that people can understand.

I am not

well educated,

but after reading

some poems I think

education may be overrated.

I try to

express my feelings

to help myself and

offer some healing.

I don’t have

a hidden agenda,

just a dream

of spending my days

on a hacienda.

Sitting in the

shade of some olive trees,

while writing

my memoirs in the

warm summer breeze.
