Pantoum for Lizzie
I’ll remember (will you?)
our “ladies lunches,”
neither of us ladylike,
you 16, me….not.
Our “ladies lunches:”
your vegetarian choices,
you 16, me….not
but we notice the same things.
Your vegetarian choices—
I appreciate them, like the way
we notice the same things,
little ones and big ones.
I appreciate the way
you care about serious issues,
little ones and big ones.
Prom dresses and the Holocaust.
You care about serious issues
alternating with the hilarious.
Prom dresses and the Holocaust
give way to mutual glee.
Alternating with the hilarious,
those spiritual discussions
give way to mutual glee
with the one whose laughter I love.
Those spiritual discussions,
neither of us ladylike,
with the one whose laughter I love
I’ll remember (will you?)

Nice one, Suze.
Ah, Deloney! Nice to see you. Thanks!
Very nice.
AH... there are times I wish I were more of a formalist.
Thank you so much for your note and, even more, for your poetry here.
Looks like I'll be coming back again and again and... so it goes.
May I place a link to your blog?
Absolutely, Adam. Thanks so much!
And may I?
Indeed, please. I would be delighted.
