Poetry Day: Not An Angel?

Posted on February 6, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

Elisabeth from ‘Seven Deadly Sins’

(This is a poem about people who do good things, but refuse praise or even compliments.  You know who you are.)

I call you an angel

Which you casually deny

With an impish grin

Yet, I always see your wings

Folded and off-white

More beautiful than those of any bird

I can see your halo

Crooked, but still pristine

Emanating your inner warmth

That makes me smile

Defying all the miles

I call you an angel

Which you casually deny

With an angelic grin
