Backseat

Giggling sitting behind her dad ,holding  balloons to the
sky through the window and sharing the laughter with mom,
friends singing loudly with crackling voices ,throwing jibes at 
each other for being sometimes stupid and crackhead,
enjoying  the drive with best  fluffy buddy
man has always known and loved as its own,
sitting beautifully in white  looking outside the limo
wiping the tears of joy ,sad and little fear
with anticiaption of bright future ahead with her man,
reminiscing the lovely moments with her beloved family
whom she is going to miss immensely with a promise
made in her heart that she will be always there for them,
leaning on the shoulder with wounded heart in pieces,
holding on to the  hope,which is all that is left,
that everything will be fine and your are let free,
but will it be ?,when my feelings have taken a backseat?



PS:written on 10/9/23 and finished on 12/9/23
Kindly share your views and opinions.i would love to know your thoughts,
   Not entirely but some portion   got inspired from a character in a series,though i couldnt finish it.

Very engaging poetry, Kenisha. You took us on a ride of life ... the wonderful joy of childhood, the joy of the love of newlyweds, and the low of life when our feelings have taken a backseat. Your imagery and descriptions were excellent, it was easy to understand the changes of perspectives as your character traveled through life. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us through your poetry. A poet friend to be, Bill

I love how descriptive this is and the creative way you’ve shared emotions , from childhood to adulthood and how we are left searching for a glimmer of hope, so well delivered: the opening drew me in and shows such a beautiful scene. And the ending is so deep, as you wrote “ feelings have taken a backseat “ sometimes we dnt even get time to prioritize feelings when life happen, profound and moving write. Pleasure reading this

I like your shifting perceptions, from the child's glee to the bride's looking forward and finally the lonely pain searching for a bit of hope, all so introspective~

Interesting poetic perspective kenisha. There are many recreational things that can be done in a backseat. Observation and rumination are a few...
