Njeri Hunjeri Poet Elegy

No More

I promised I wouldn't write any more sad poems this week

I promised myself I'd enjoy the warm weather with every beat

I promised I'd dwell on the light no matter how flickering it lit

Sad news keep pouring, I never promised me of none of it

Am afraid to move, afraid to hear, afraid to know, if only the world would stand still

Jan Allison March 11, 2015 at 5:22 PM I can relate to what you say Njeri - I hope the news gets better for the both of us:-( Hugs jan xx Jan Allison March 13, 2015 at 7:57 AM Sorry he writes under the name 'Maurice Yvonne' but his real name is Armand - he is a wonderful friend I am so glad he is back here with us:-) Hugs jan xx Njeri Hunjeri March 13, 2015 at 4:32 AM Is Armand one of the poets in soup? I'll have to check him up Jan Allison March 11, 2015 at 6:44 PM No worries Njeri - sometimes I find just reading helps take my mind off my own worries - when i see the issues Armand has in his life I know my issues are small in comparison - i read far more widely than I comment - simply not enough time to comment on every poem I read:-) x2 Hugs Jan xx Njeri Hunjeri March 11, 2015 at 6:41 PM I hope so too. This is the first comment I've replied too for several hours. Its been hard for me to reply to people's comments. Am sorry you seem to be going through a difficult time too. I also hope for better news for both of us. Thank you Jan
