Girl from Chinatown

Sometimes on full moon nights
she comes around to my side of town,
the girl from Chinatown.
She's a free spirit
beholden to no one,
wanting nothing
but to pass
a little bit of time.
She likes sushi
She loves wine,
nary a care
only some
time to share.
I wouldn't mind
knowing her better,
when she comes
and where she goes
only she knows.
Perhaps she's a
child of the wind,
always moving around
with no location
to settle down.
Such is the life
of the girl
from Chinatown.

She surely is a gentle breeze that brings you lovely inspiration, dear James.

Very nice.

Love,

Nicely done with mystery the theme all the way through. I knew a woman (girl) like that once, but she wasn't from Chinatown. You did a remarkable job on this. Too many poets would want to get more involved. What you gave us, the readers, was just right.
