      August 19, 2017Tattered and BrokenJulia Sherman

      The dog lies there on my bed
      Tattered and broken
      A desk curls up snug in a corner
      And never in a million years will it be clean
      Tattered and broken
      I will never forsake him
      And never in a million years will it be clean
      The only noticeable object is a picture when I was three, smiling
      as wide as a river
      I will never forsake him
      A desk curls up snug in a corner
      The only noticeable object is a picture when I was three, smiling
      as wide as a river
      The dog lies there on my bed

      from 2017 RYPA

      Why do you like to write poetry?

      “I like writing because it frees me to go anywhere, do anything, feel everything—to imagine a life without limitation.”
