Vee Bdosa Poet Sonnet

Porch Swing

PORCH SWING

I beg of you, to not be stopping by
unless your mind is set to spend the day,
for I've a mind that if you do then I
would try to find a reason you might stay.

 
You must know loneliness can make one do
whatever it might take, for company,
and since you know it now, I beg of you,
my greatest wish is you just speak to me
as passing by for age does take its toll.

Here on this porch I swing my life away
and in my plight tomorrow is a goal
I may not reach without some hope today.
O Passerby if life could ever smile again for me,
you'd stop and chat a while.
