Second One of Many
I remember when the bitter weed did bloom
We'd sit outside by the light of the moon
Catch fireflies and place in a jar
I remember just who you are
On these nights watermelon sliced
Ice cream entombed in store bought ice
With rock salt bought from the store
To make the ice freeze and us want more
Janet Frame New Zealand famed writer
stated in her novel "Toward Another
Summer" that her mother said the best
poems are written on scraps of paper,
old envelopes, and paper napkins.
