The Fence Poem by Steve Howard
The Fence
Her name was Jenny Pickles,
and in the days of innocence,
she'd share her jelly sammiches,
and kiss me through the fence.
A princess and her faithful thane,
we'd hold court upon the lawn.
But with time, and tide, and circumstance,
the kingdom's lost and gone.
Now and then I think of her,
and when life gets too intense,
my heart goes back to younger days,
and jelly kisses through the fence.
1 - " sammiches" i'm pretty sure you KNOW how to spell " sandwiches" ! but maybe kids in " days of innocence" might mispronounce. ;) thane: [historical] " (in Scotland) a man, often the chief of a clan, who held land from a Scottish king"
Thanks a bunch Bri Edwards. 😀 glad you enjoyed the poem. Sammich is a southern thang knowingly used incorrectly. A sandwich by any other name 🐎🌷
Thanks Maryellen Smith. I appreciate your kindness. 😀 Wire 😀
How sweet! I've never kissed anyone through a fence, nor seen it done, but what a cute poem you made out of it! (Was it a picket fence, wire, or? ? ?)
Thanks a bunch Maryellen Smith 😀🌷 It was wire. 😀 And mostly true 😀
