Written by Destiny Bergeron
Have you seen it?
I swear!
it was just right here...
It's just words,
in nicely arranged sentences
but it's mine...
I wrote a couple of lines
Then was rudely interrupted
by life
Now I can't remember
a single word,
not one rhyme
I searched under my mattress
And in all my pockets
I swear I checked everywhere
It can't just disappear
It's a poem it can't just
grow legs and walk away
It's a piece of paper
My Mom would say
the saint Joseph prayer~
And tell me not to fear~
Well, please!!! look around, look around
cause this poem is nowhere
to be found
I turned my whole house
upside down
Attempting to find the whereabouts
Of those words I jotted down~
And all I have is
a big mess to pick up now
Written In memory of
Shel Silverstein
He taught me poetry can be funny
Shel died May 10 1999
His words live on forever
