    Rachel's Sonnet

    What are you doing in my thoughts?
    I kicked you out, I changed the locks.
    You once tossed pebbles, now you throw rocks.
    I'd've let you in, it only you'd knocked.

    Maybe you shouldn't have left me so,
    You planted and watered the seed you'd sewn
    But couldn't stay to watch it grow.
    I should have noticed; I should have known.

    Twice as strong as you, I loved.
    You came to the front, jostled and shoved.
    You stole my heart with kisses and hugs,
    And swallowed my pride like steam from a mug.

    We promised each other "You jump, I jump too."
    But I knew all along, that that never was true.

    I really liked the third paragraph. The way you say things gets across the point so vividly and it's all very original. I like that. Very good piece.

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.

    Plato (BC 427-BC 347) Greek philosopher.
