National Writing Project Summer 2012

Day One: Poem


My confidant, my partner in crime, my buddy; MY PA

I see your reddish-brown skin, warm, gentle eyes, and
tanned, rugged hands.

I hear your distinguishable laughter, feel my broken
heart, and taste my uncontrollable tears.

I wonder: where are your blue jeans, red flannel shirt, and moccasins?

I feel empty because you are silent,
I feel cheated because you left too soon,
and yet, I feel lucky to have shared so many wonderful years.
