Little girl curled up with her maroon poetry book
Small dog eared pages pinched with care
Tear stained paper from nights that haunt
The faint names barely legible because she
Gently and with the softest precision in pencil
Wrote names by the ones that were inspiring
Poetry the only way to find the words
Poetry was the only way out of her mind
Small dog eared pages pinched with care
Tear stained paper from nights that haunt
The faint names barely legible because she
Gently and with the softest precision in pencil
Wrote names by the ones that were inspiring
Poetry the only way to find the words
Poetry was the only way out of her mind

Author's Note
Opened up a book of poems today that I hadn't opened up in a long while. I was surprised by how many still remind me of the people I love.

The tenderness of this one is really endearing, love the use of details to create the mind's eye image. I might have formatted it a bit different with more caesura, to slow it down and create pauses for emphasis, like

It was the first book I ever wrote in. Sacrilege of the most high. I'd already ruined it with my sobbing so my brain just went "might as well".
