Paula Swanson Poet Rhyme

For a Song

Upon his fingertip I sit,
I don't think I am the first.
I wasn't aware I was falling,
until I heard her soft curse.
For some reason, she let me go,
though I tried to hold on.
I thought she had more resolve,
than to shed me for a song.


Written by Paula Swanson

Placement: 4th
