Notes About The Poem

 

Ticket To Heaven

Ticket booth requests destination
manually I type your name,
a mathematical equation
couldn't convince me to abstain,

Catching despair in my reflection
streetlights flounce, dreary windowpanes
tracking raindrops with affection,
pining for your embrace, once again

Traveling express train to heaven
station platforms, fleeting by
mimicking photographs in my mind,
camera rolls, flicker the sky

John Lawless February 9, 2021 at 2:59 PM wonderful imagery herein Joanna captures that longing to reunite with another regardless of the distance. Jo Chamberlain February 9, 2021 at 3:02 PM Definitely something we can all relate to. If only it were that easy. :-( thank you for your comment

Gary Radice February 9, 2021 at 7:47 AM Excellent Joanna. You mentioned in a comment to Caren that you've added a couple more stanzas to the original. I'm trying to figure out the original stanza as they would all stand alone as separate pieces. Was the original then the last 4 lines? Cheers - Gary Jo Chamberlain February 9, 2021 at 8:11 AM Yes I wrote this poem with just the last stanza, I then added two more infront. Thank you for taking the time to read my poem, and for your comment. :-)

Robert Pettit February 7, 2021 at 3:57 PM Very imaginative write. Rather short, but very sweet. Jo Chamberlain February 7, 2021 at 4:04 PM Thank you. :-) I may extend it, I'm not sure yet. I like it short and sweet, I didn't feel like it need further explanation. But who knows what tomorrow brings. Take care.
