The Girl

Jooles


Notice of absence from Jooles
I disappear for months on end......just my life but I always come back!

I remember the child

With freckles, dark hair

I remember she'd sit her bum anywhere 

I remember the phrase 

You should have been a boy 

I remember she'd laugh 

It brought her such joy 

I remember her sister 

So girly, so sweet 

I remember the girl 

Thank god that's not me 

I remember the fights 

I remember her mouth 

I remember her spirit 

Just wouldn't back down 

I remember her friends 

I remember such trust 

The dancing, the drinking,

They'd cause quite a fuss 

I remember her joy 

I remember her pain 

I remember her humour 

Her confidence gained 

I remember the games 

She played with such glee 

I remember it all 

For that girl was me

  • Comment from author about the poem: I wrote this poem of the back of my poem Hazelhead when I was thinking about my childhood. I suppose it is roughly based on myself....even if I don't want to admit it 😅...enjoy

    How finely written is this poem !
    A simple language is followed
    Expression is made clearly
    And a superb twist in the end !
