April is poetry month. Poem number one. Sweet Jenny.
( I will attempt 30 new poems for April. The Poetry month. Now I begin. )
Dear Jenny..
I found you and I lost you dear Jenny in Michigan.
I remember us. We knew joy and we never said a proper goodbye.
Was a early September night and you came to me.
We made no promises and we told no lies.
You were a beautiful butterfly to me, never to be held down.
Eighteen and so fearless.
I knew I was old in spirit and you were a fresh blooming Spring flower.
I remembered we drink, I remember we danced and we never left my apartment.
In December. You wandered from me and I allowed to escape.
I knew. Can’t capture a free spirit and we did not seek love.
We sought kindness, we sought a gentle voice in the night.
Now I write words for a memory.
Thank you dear Jenny and I remember you.
And I pray you had found the things you needed.
