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.
