The Knocking

Several times I heard her knocking,
A noise I first found very shocking
Still it lingered,
‘Til I fingered

Her coral broach around my neck,
Thought I would be a total wreck
It gave me solace,
A renewed promise

When I set about making rhymes
I knew she was very near these times,
And seeking my loving attention
This I must not fail to mention.

Virginia Gelok October 9, 2021 at 6:19 AM Sounds like inspiration from a loved one. very nice. L Milton Hankins October 9, 2021 at 8:33 AM I believe that's true, Virginia, and it can happen; but, this was a fiction write that worked well with the format.
