Grave Poem of Sp0on Island: Jonas Bateman

it was always said that
of all the people on the Island
I loved life the best
  I who had the least
but I had all I needed
enough bread to keep me from hunger
a warm bed against the cold
good books and music to soothe my soul
in this world of want
I was a rich man indeed

(1990)

Inspired by the book "Spoon River Anthology" by Edgar Lee Masters. These poems have been crafted by me under the title "Grave Poems of Spoon Island".
