My Pickle Poem to Pappaw
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It ain't the pickles.
It's just the juice.
I hold on.
I can't turn loose.
It don't mean nuthin'
'Cept to me and you.
But now you're gone
And I'm holdin' on.
I've got my pickle.
I've got your juice,
But all alone---
What's the use?
I cry like rain
As I pour it down the drain.

I wrote this poem the year Pappaw died. He died in August and this was the first time I finished a pickle jar without Pappaw here to drink the juice. Man, it's been FIVE years!

A meaningful poem.
It's incomprehensible without the little blurb at the bottom, but with the blurb it is very touching. Cute, too... remembering him every time you eat a pickle.
It's a bit like me and my Dad.... every time I play the guitar I remember what I loved about him.

That is a good poem, I like it, sorry to hear about your Pappaw. Mine has been gone for 10 years now, I miss him so much, we were so close, he was my favorite person in the entire world.

It's good, if it meant something to you. For someone else, it probably doesn't hold much meaning. I would probably frame it, if it was written by you concerning you and your Pappaw and keep it forever.

Touching. He must have been someone special to you. You'll see him again.
