I'D Like To Write a Poem

I'd like to write a poem that might Describe my delights. Share my sorrows. Expand my expectations. Defeat my demons. Justify my joy. Anchor my anger. Free my frustrations. Worship my womanliness. Bestow my bounty. Cherish my children. Harness my hopes. Love my lard.

Hi Jean, i like the poem. It is simple and direct and it has that old Irish lilt to it. I Love the simplicity in this work, it makes each line ring true. As Nicola says, it is a nice tribute to your friend Jean. Have a good day....Vlad.

Hey Jean! I am touched and flattered that you remember reading my poems (and I knew your name was familiar!) and I love your version of my poem. Every line is wonderful (and the lard line was a delightful surprise!). Looking forward to reading more of your work.....
