Jenefer Venezia Poem
Oh, my heart will always be
At a cottage by the sea
Me and Michael, mom and dad
What memories did my family had
Lobsters clams and knotty pine
Shore dinners with the neighbors we did dine
Peanut butter sandwiches on the beach
Carousel rides were our Wednesday treat
Early morning breakfasts’, fishing at the dock
Bluefish grilling within a lemon butter stock
Renting floats and riding waves
Coconut oil and tropical ice shaves
Fun o Rama and ice cream cones
Drive-in movies, skipping stones
Oh, my heart will always be
At a cottage by the sea
But time keeps rolling and people pass on
No more floats or skipping stones
No more peanut butter, marshmallow treats
No more jumping waves at the beach
No more lobsters clams or neighbors in to dine
No more smell of knotty pine
No more Michael Mom and Dad
Oh I miss the fun we had.
Oh, my heart will always be
At a cottage by the sea
Put away the pearls put away the dust
Turn the page to chapter 2; it’s only right and just
I’ll always have my memories they can’t be taken from me
Time for me to pack my soul and leave the cottage by the Sea
Today my heart will always be
At a condo by the sea
Lining the walls for all to see
Are pictures of Mom and Dad and Michael and Me.
And lest we forget where my heart will be
At a cottage by the sea.

Jenefer Venezia Poem
I love my lilacs.
A sign of life that blooms
A tear to my eye, oh their fragrance
Cone-shaped petals of lavender and white
They forever grow in my heart
I pick and pick at them until they grow so high
I can’t make contact.
They stop growing
I can’t reach or
Arrange them into beautiful bouquets or
Enjoy their sweet scent
Oh, but I love my lilacs
I now enjoy them from afar.
I can no longer display them.
If you stand real still and close your eyes you can catch their perfume
When the wind blows north
Their beauty barely within reach
I will always love them.
I have learned
With proper pruning
My lilacs would still be in reach
Their beauty for all to see
Their fragrance for all to enjoy
Their magnificence filling my world
Dandelions don’t tell no lies. Lilacs do.
