Jenni Poem Girl-REAL

Poem

Kady Birdwhistle
Implants in people's minds
They remember poems
Of a girl
And I ask her how she has become a part of me
She answers we went to high school together
I remember the smiling face face of the me me she she us us HUSH
I remember her, pretty girl Jennifer
Blonde and eyes of blue blue that captivated star childs of star children
I ask what shall we do of the bidding of life
Life that expects us to do so much and express all all all-now I write for YOU
And she just grins
She makes me think of Tony
Her lop-sided grin is the same that he has and owns it daily
I wanted to quit writing, but she inspires me so so so angel-girl-human-form-person
I missed her phone calls because of busy life changing all times now
Lady Girl Jennifer webbing of my soul
One I had forgotten so so so so long ago I pause and wait
For the phone to do its jungle-AH-jingle when you call me
We were such little girls at Portland Elemetary school swingset-TIME
You remembered when you barfed and I helped you clean it up
Girl, that was first grade at the stellar beginning of the you you you me me you you you us us HUSH
Talented I've always seen you not as adversary but always GODCHILD
You can always prove there was a point to something when I whimsically
Walk away into nothing-land
I'm so glad I know you
Jenni Child
Earth BABY
LOVE OF UNIVERSE ONE GIRL WHO CALMS MY FORCES

This is for my friend Jenni from my childhood, who I recently connected with and she is the inspiration for me not to give up on writing.

    Friends are like stars in the heavens, they shine on you and make your life brighter. They sometimes help you to see your way more clearly in a way that no other can.......I'm so glad you and your friend Jenni reconnected, and I'm glad she could help you to realize how important your writing is to you and to all who reads it!+*+*+* PEACE
