Swinging

Swinging

A Poem by Teri M

If I remember anything about tonight, 
I hope it's the way that I felt like Lux lisbon
when I swung too high,

because the sunlight fell
down through the 
leaves and grazed my eyes
and that's what
Jeffrey would have wanted, 
even though i'm not often blonde,
and my bed never had a 
canopy to hang my 
rebellion on,

and we don't ever get fish flies
where I come from,
and I've got the correct amount of 
teeth in my mouth.

And how strange it had seemed to me
that I should feel like her,

when it was
Bonnie who swung from
the rope,

and it's
Therese whose name I
almost
share.

Very fascinating poetry you nailed up! Well, brunettes're too way gorgeous as... blondes' are so no worries, if you ain't blonde, you've still got your own glory to kiss the "nights". You capture the feelings of your naive heart in words very nicely & allow others to get "swung" with your creations.. as well. Nice work!
