WHERE ?

Remenisce about where have all the girls gone

WHERE  ?

 

Della, my Della, where ?

You were fourteen with Auburn hair

I loved you then when you were there

But, now you are where ?

 

Sweet What`s her name, where ?

I don`t know about her hair

But, she was certainly all there

Now you are where ?

 

Triva, my defender, where ?

Legs all the way up to her hair

She fought for me with a girlish flair

But, now you are where ?

 

Tiny I remember well, where ?

St. Vitus dance and all, I swear

Never wore any underwear

But, now you are where ?

 

Ah, Vivian ! There`s a tale, where ?

Pulled me down and broke the chair

Pledged her love in a secret lair

But, now you are where ?

 

Lois, busty, sweet and fair

Saw her first with my friend, Jere

Made time with her and paid the fare

Now you are where ?

 

Now girls my book is bare

We have no more time to spare

My old spurs hang by yonder stair

But, now you are where ?

Lyrics for a song, lyrics for a song!

What a great rhythmic flow of words. In parts, it's quite fuuny, but, that repeated last line in each stanza/verse makes it sad too, because that's the love of your life... i thi-i-i-nk. The others were the flowers that faded, but 'you are where' is with you still.

You write in so many different styles and about so many different themes.

Thanks lots for sharing.

This gave me a giggle. I'm getting a few laughs off people's writing today. I like this. It flows well with great rhythm. Nice nice!

I did get a chuckle in a few parts. Very rhythmical. The 'you are where' at the end of each line is highly effective in here. Wonderfully done...

I love this. I love how you keep the 'where' theme throughout the poem. I can imagine innocent della, and wild vivian. I think this is a great concept and it is executed wonderfully. I feel very enthusiastic about this one, it made me smile and then I felt a little sad because each is now just a memory.

Very nice! I enjoyed this!

Easy flowing about a time that we remember. Or at least you remember! Seems like only yesterday that I was in high school, now I wonder what happened to the last 20 years. Great poem, I thorougly enjoyed it!
