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?

Kelly Deschler Date: 1/28/2015 1:32:00 AM 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. Login to Reply
