April is National Poetry Month

To celebrate National Poetry Month, I'm posting one of mine with one of my photos.

A Building in New Orleans

by Sherry Perkins

Don’t stop loving me because I don’t look like I once did.

Walls jaded

Bricks faded

Paint peeling

Wind reeling

If you come in, I’ll show you who I was.

Love

Life

Laughter

If you let me, I can be again.

Family

Friends

If I scare you, I’m sorry.

Dust

Spider webs

Broken glass

Missing pieces

Don’t give up on me.

Don’t let me die.

I want to live.

I want to live, again.
