National Poetry Month 2017 #4. Love Letter by Carole E. Gregory

Apr 05, 2017 02:54

 
    Reading some of my early posts from my first lj, which I can no longer properly access, brought back a lot of stuff that nearly had me in tears on the bus journey back from Perth today. Found the poem I would have liked to post but, frankly it would have taken too long to type out tonight, and I managed to find one that follows, for me, a similar theme.

Love Letter by Carole E. Gregory

Dear Samson,

I put your hair

in a jar

by the pear tree

near the well.

I been thinkin'

over what I done

and I still don't think

God gave you

all that strength

for you to kill

my people.

Love - Delilah

Goddess preserve

Kerk
