Jennie Scheihing Poems

Butterfly, flutterby
Come to me
Take me to Mexico
On your delicate wing.
...

Dear Diary,
I got through another day
I fought my mind
But I survived
...

If I died tonight
Would you even notice?
Would you shed a tear for me?
Would you miss me on those rainy days?
...

The rain fell through the night
Covering up my crying eyes
Singing sweetly
My desperate lullaby
...

I want a boy
Who will love me
Like the old love bird
That only sings
...

I now am stuck
On a steaming train
Billowing smoke
Chasing rain
...

With everything a mystery
A tide of emotion crashing on me
Confusing waves urging toward the sea
With a gentle tune; a lullaby
...

Thanks is a word
So small and worn
On little smiles
It does adorn
...

I can see her standing there
So pitiful, so broken down
Alone in her sadness
Staring at the one she loves
...

Have you ever sang loud and pure
When no one was watching,
When you felt secure?
...
