Notes About The Poem

This is an irregular ode

Ode to Sherri

I am stuck in the Eighties
I am being reminded of you
Every memory of Sherri
Is being invited and excited by 
Emmaleigh 
She looks so much like you
My dear Sherri
So much it's scary
Her reminder of you
Leads me to the times of our younger selves
In the depths of memories I delve
Even her mannerisms 
Remind me of you 
Every time I see Emmaleigh
I am taken back to when we 
Met [fourscore and seven] in Germany
