A poem for Claudette
I may alter this a little. But I've always posted my first drafts here, so I'll keep to my usual habit.
Claudette I remember years ago, The way we fought. Battle royal across the boards, man, we were vicious Knew how to needle each other, Get a rise from one another. I’m glad we turned that into caring. Letters on a message board flicker on my monitor screen. Faces unseen. It’s strange, I never saw you smile or laugh Except in photographs, That knowing half smile. The Mona Lisa secret smile I know I never held your hand, Was never the shoulder to your sadness, But still you were my friend and I will miss you Farewell my dear, You left us too soon. And I hope that you were right And I was wrong on what comes after ‘Cause you deserve laughter, And warmth and joy. And so I say, bon voyage my friend, Safe journey and goodbye.
