Analysis of She Said Please Write a Poem for Me
She said, "Please write a poem for me."
I told her I would try.
But soon she sailed across the sea
And left me high and dry!
We were just friends and nothing more,
But I still think of her.
And now, beside the ocean's roar,
A strange scene does occur!
I stand here and recite each line
I wrote for her today;
As though this offering of mine
Might reach her ear one day!
I watch the sun sink in the sea
And then I give a smile.
I wonder if she thinks of me
O'er many a distant mile?
