John Loving Iii Poet Imagism

The Young Girl On the Computer

how can i discribe this beauty
on this paper how can i display
how can i tell what my eye's adore
and get the point across that this is more

this thing that is youthfull
this thing being young
has no knowledge of wrinkles
or ageing begun

she sits a few feet away
never to know that this poem
is being writen about her
the librarian called her name

Leah. but this was no leah 
this was Rachel in all her glory 
the sight jacob labored seven years for
and then again seven more

she sit's in the wrapings of youth
the jewel any father would adore
the prize made for a prince
i wonder does she have the sence

and i so lucky from time to time 
glance over her way
her skinny arm
her frizzied hair

and now she's leaving 
to the copy machine to get her work
and those low cut jeans
soon now. oh she came back

she must know that i'm writing this
or God his providence provides a frame
this creation deserves an encore
lucky i found out her name

Charlene Bird June 11, 2009 at 8:07 PM Your eyes adored her though you never layed a hand on her, just like the song. From a distance fantasy takes over the mind. Nice write JOhn.
