Callie

Callie

Rocking in a chintz platform rocker,
Wearing a patio dress,
Day after day she hums a song,
“With someone like you.”

Through the window she watches,
He left her far too soon,
Dust and cobwebs around her gather,
She hums and rocks “With someone like you.

I’d like to leave it all behind.”

I try not to critique poems in the comment section. I think it's rude and disrespectful.
