Gwendolen Song Poet Free verse

A Simple Reply

Have you ever had a friend who you thoroughly enjoyed

You dreamed together...chuckled together...

And shared exciting movie plots together too

Have you ever had to part for a while, but knew that it was only temporary

Just a brief lapse of constant communication

What is a heart to do

Does the heart sit and ponder and wonder what the other is up to

Or does the other send a warm hello every now and again and say

"I am alive and well...and I miss you!"

Awkwardness and me do not go hand in hand

I thought absence made the heart grow stronger

I simply don't understand

I think I will pack my bags and go hide in the sand for a while

When this hurricane passes over then I will go move to another planet

Space flights are under ten thousand dollars they say

Or maybe I will just change my name and borrow a dead person's identity

Or maybe I could move to Europe and become a not-so-famous writer 

Just like Ernest Hemingway

I don't do awkwardness very well

And in this case "absence does not make the heart grow stronger"

I am not a dentist--I do not like pulling teeth

The End.
