If You Knew Peggy Sue

I never knew
Peggy Sue
although I
wanted to
but I was
much too shy
to look into
her eyes.
She used to wear
nice cotton dresses
with buttons
all the way down,
and she filled them with
the finest figure
in our small town.
Years after I left
I went back home
to visit friends
that I once knew,
and while there
I inquired about the girl
named Peggy Sue.
Seems she'd run
off to Hollywood
chasing dreams
that never came true.
To me, that
was deja vu,
for I had done
the same thing too.

I think every young man has known a Peggy or two in their life. Sometimes they walk back through.

What drew me into this poem was the title of course. With a title like that I was expecting something. You did not disappoint me.

Ah, Buddy Holly and Peggy Sue -- brings back memories. I think we all can look back on a Peggy Sue in our lives, and your poem adds a dimension that makes her all the more unforgettable.

Thanks --
