The Weary Traveler

November 2, 2012
By Anonymous

"Weary sigh, traveler?"
Nods glumly.
"I can offer food."
Nods glumly.
"I can offer shelter."
Nods glumly.
"I can offer joy."
Nods glumly.
"I can offer love."
A glance, a door slam.
The weary traveler.
The weary traveler's wife.

I don't know how I feel about this poem. I don't usually write a lot of poetry, but this was the only way I could get my message across.
Sometimes I feel like the traveler, sometimes like his wife.
