Jack Kennedy Poems

' Emily said she loved me '...me!
The wind heard her whisper thus...

Take heed, you unbelievers in reality
...

A timely visit from an ancient vine
one planted when your world was young

it endured youths folly and was firmly rooted.
...

Someday..my hands will cover your hands
in a protective, nurturing way as I listen
attentively to your words....
...

You blushed first
I Followed suit
Your smile started it
My words flamed it
...

You've been gone awhile from my dreams
I've missed you. What brings you here tonight?

You were much older in a previous chat
...

familiar wind burned hot.
familiar look caught my eye
ancient memories broke the surface.
suddenly, I was somewhere...I knew not.
...

Yes, the red dress does makes you look fat
But not half as much as the one you wore last night.
And no, I don't like your 'adorable'cat.
He sheds on my suits and shrieks with delight
...

She talks to the Meadow...
A beautiful and welcoming place...
We're old friends, meadow and me...
'you knew you were special to me
...

Jean was the first to speak  'have you all met her? '
Four of the other five nodded. Eve said 'she's beautiful, and oh, what wit! '
Three stayed silent, but Anne added ' Ernest has already asked her to dine'
Two bit their lips, as Louise murmured that ' she certainly looks fit'
...

Banging on the glass
forehead is red
throat is raw
Fingernails bled
...
