This Charming Man – 18th July 2025

The charmer has good game,
a new room every night’
A silence can explain
when the words don’t feel right;

Maybe old and spicy,
a smile that seems sincere;
Pearly blues so icy,
direction sharp and clear;

The holder of the cup,
a life that overflows;
Forgets the runner-up,
the one that no one knows;

This charismatic man
was always bound to be;
Winning since life began,
is definitely not me.

Written for the GloPoWriMo Day 7 prompt:
write a self-portrait poem, in which you explain why you are not a particular piece of art (a symphony, a figurine, a ballet, a sonnet), use at least one outlandish comparison, and a strange (and maybe not actually real) fact.
