[hometext] => a poem about my greatest of the greats
[bodytext] => I take a look in the dusty old room Where you used to be Your old rocker just sitting there Waiting for you to come home Your bed with the pink and green flowers Still made from when you last made it The windowpane is covered by the yellow daisy curtains Your favorite ones, you told me once I remember you, my only great For now you are with the other greats With your gray-white hair and your wire-rimmed glasses Thicker than cardboard Your blue and black shaky hands along with the creased wrinkles Your ankles swelled with fluid Wearing your purple cotton shirt with a broach And your purple pants that were always too long I hope you are happier there than you were here I remember you telling me that you would always be here And I know you have kept that promise So I took the old rocker and I put it in my room and rocked in it slightly Then I got up and took your favorite curtains and folded them up To put under my pillow So I could dream about you With your gray-white hair and your wire-rimmed glasses [comments] => 4 [counter] => 266 [topic] => 48 [informant] => breezyweezy [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
