Poem -
Thinking Back on Polly
Polly left school at
fifteen,
even before she
had time
to take her exams ..
It seems
asthma got to her
on the way home,
on the top
deck of an old red
school bus ..
They say, she died
alone up there ..
But how
on earth, was that
even possible ..
After all, it was a
school bus
for Christ’s sake ..
No one even knew
she had
fucking asthma,
or how bad it was ..
And I sometimes
imagine if she had
not left us
early like that, then
we might have
got it together again
and maybe, one day
even have fallen in love ..

Ooooh...this is such a sad poem/story. Poor Polly. Now I've read your poem, the fate of this poor girl will stay with me forever.
RIP Polly ❤️ xx
It's a true story and very sad .. it has stayed with me since forever .. I just didn't want her to be forgotten .. thanks for feeling it my way Tina x
Because you've written it, it will be read. And something like this, once read, is never forgotten. It's there forever. You have immortalised sweet Polly!
In that case, on this occasion, my mission is accomplished .. thank you Tina for helping me achieve this for her .. Neville x
What a sad story, Neville. Very tragic. B
She was a long time ago now but yes, .. and I'm sure we all have them, I write them down as an aid memoir during my own personal winter .. and so that they will never quite be forgotten .. thank you for noticing
Neville
