My Last Day With Poetry Soup

As I write this, it is my last day on this earth. I wanna give each one of my daughters a kiss, and pray I'm rebirth! And if I'm not, then I will soon see my momma in heaven. I will fight with all I got, and be among the fighting spirits from nine-eleven! I wanna tell my daughters I love them dearly, and hang out with them for awhile. I mean each word sincerely, for my strength has come from each ones smile! I wanna tell Audrey, my "P.B." to hang on to my memory and remember me. I wanna ask the very beautiful Walayee, why she hasn't collaborated on our poetry!? I wanna tell Deb to not frown, to remember how I "go down!" I wanna tell Madison, "I wear the crown," and "I run this town!" I wanna tell my dad. Marty, how he's been a blessing on my life. I wanna tell P.D., how I enjoyed that party, hanging with Nates wife! I wanna tell Constance little group, "My time is up, I'm gonna die!" I wanna tell all the poets on the soup, "They can win some contests now, and bye, bye!" Wrote for Walayee Whitlocks contest, "If I only had one day to live"

Your words seem so convincing in this work. If I did not see the line at the bottom, I might think this was a genuine suicide note

I'm glad that I knew this was written for the contest or I would have been frightened. I think it is probably exactly what one would want to write on the last day of his life. Good luck Jimmy and thanks for your nice comments. Love, Joyce
