Raggedy Man,
tatterdemalion,
mischief maker,
total rapscallion,
the village, verily,
better for his visit,
erstwhile smile,
his laugh – exquisite!
Written after reading Paul F. Lenzi’s ‘Raggedy Man’ from City of Pawns (ISBN 9781492330523)

I love it – thank you Baldy for your kind acknowledgment – but I think you may be referring to my poem titled “Arrotino” (Grinder)
How embarrassing! Sorry, Paul! The blessing is, your poem was inspiring (as so much of your poetry is, my friend).
