Analysis of Thinking Of Heather

Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)



Thinking Of Heather

I’ve never really given it much thought
And I don’t know if I have an answer
To how many ways I can come up with
So I may mail those ten letters to you
I have thought about it for quite some time
With the hope that one day I could send them
I also hope that you’ll not be sorry
When I do mail those ten letters to you
I wonder how you will respond to them
Because I don’t care what others will say

P.s.Is this rotten or what?
P.p.s.s.Better yet, how about
These ten letters “I Love Jewel”?

About this poem

Another one from The Dark Years Collection…Make of what you will…Just for the record…I had mo control over the shuffle…They fell as they did…According to fate???I don’t know why Chinese simplified is my default language???Oh well…Nobody is perfect…Evenni make mistakes…But when I discover them…I try to make them right…
