Craft Girl

My old girl was good at crafts Even mad a poster with me on it Now it is over Guess I am just society's child like Janis Ian sang about Well, I guess I will "keep on trucking" What other choice do we have, fellow poets?

Beautifully written with an explicit craft shown as obvious as the scorching sun. Great piece, a wonderful share and a blessed read.

I was into crafts when I was younger. Handmade gifts are special and they do hold memories. But, if they are painful memories it is best to let them go... A very good write, Matthew. I like how this ended with a question.

Matt, I am always so surprised that you are a bachelor to this day. But maybe one day you will find true love! by the way, did I tell you I finished your chapbook? My favorite of your poems in that book was Canyons. Outstanding.
