Notes About The Poem
Jenny is the second one down. This is from around 1963!
(I'm the dorky looking one at the top!)
JENNIIFER TODAY
Lovely Jenny
My sister
Jennifer Ellen -
sweet Jenny Wren,
like a mother hen,
is my comfort.
She was born
two years after me.
Though I’m the eldest -
the teacher -
she is the one
in our family
who nurtures us
when we feel blue.
But also she is
a lioness!
Once she rushed
to defend me from
the cruel remarks
of a stranger -
a heartless man who
attacked the soul of
me -my poetry.
Lovely Jenny;
in a room bursting
with activity,
she’s the one
in the corner
who is holding
the outcast’s hand.
