National Poetry Month 2017 #4. Love Letter by Carole E. Gregory

[kerkevik_2014]

 
    Reading some of my early posts from my first lj, which I can no longer properly access, brought back a lot of stuff that nearly had me in tears on the bus journey back from Perth today. Found the poem I would have liked to post but, frankly it would have taken too long to type out tonight, and I managed to find one that follows, for me, a similar theme. 

 

  Love Letter by Carole E. Gregory

 

   Dear Samson,

   I put your hair

   in a jar

   by the pear tree

   near the well.

   I been thinkin'

   over what I done

   and I still don't think

   God gave you

   all that strength

   for you to kill

   my people.

 

   Love – Delilah

 

 

Goddess preserve
