This Poem is for You
This poem is for who?
I don’t know.
I’ll tap away here on the
keys
and see what comes out.
It could be for all the
people
who have loved me and I’ve
loved.
My parents, sisters,
relatives,
friends, (near and far), God
It could be for all the
people
I share my poetry with.
Poeming together,
we’re a family in a way.
It could be for all the
pets I’ve had,
though they’d never read a
poem:
Lady, Smokey, Snickers, Jordy,
Duppy,
Peanuts, Newton, Amber, Sam,
Fluffy.
This poem could be for the
places I’ve visited
all fifty states, Scotland,
Ireland, France,
England, Wales, Northern
Ireland, Canada,
Turks and Caicos, Puerto
Rico, Peru, Kenya
Maybe this poem’s just for
me.
