Jared Pickett Poet Free verse

In Memory Of**pt 2

Reluctantly,
I gave her my rough draft.
An hour later she returned,
handing me my paper marked in red,
She said:
"Have you ever tried poetry?"
"You certainly have a way with words. 
I think you would make an incredible poet with the right mentor!! 
Come to my house on Saturday night, 
I would like to show you something!!"

Within the work day I had written my first poem, "Obsessed".
Short, sweet in freestyle form,
something like a Senryu.
Sensual, creative
Asavvy1 had made his debut.
thoughts begin to brew.
daily, 
I'd write two.
Consuelo, 
my muse,
who, 
helped rouse my creativity,
who,
gave me life when I was blue.

*** That Saturday night inspired the following poems***
Obsessed
Night Cap ( all three versions)
The Dance,
The Date, 
& The Engagement.
*** Reading these poems will conclude this tribute to my Consuelo.......***

Doris Culverhouse December 29, 2009 at 1:31 PM great tribute, hope you have a great new year. The gone with the wind book is so different than the movie, I some times forget which is which.. But the book is very different and shows the reality of the situation. It must have been terrible living back then.

Linda-Marie Sweetheart December 29, 2009 at 1:20 PM Very nice memories u have tucked away in that mind Jared... great to reflect and write ...will be reading them all as soon as the new heating unit gets fired up and my home gets hot again... three days now I am frozen ... it does suck.... ever do anything with those lines I sent u yet?..
