Jenny's Secret Revised

 

 

“Jenny’s Secret”

 

Jenny came down,

 from the wrong side of town.

Looking for a place to hide.

She met this guy who pulled her aside,

who bought her a shirt and tie.

She told this guy from deep inside,

the feelings she really hindered!

The weather changed it started to rain,

He told her to stay in her own lane!

I am a little vague on how

I am a little vague on how she moves from a hiding place, with a shirt and tie, to the lane she needs to stay in, which implies some sort of vehicular accommodation.  Explicate this please?

Thank you, and wow!  That is

Thank you, and wow!  That is some backstory which, although I read the poem more than once, simply did not make itself apparent.  I feel very silly in having missed so much detail.  After all, the poem is not very long, yet I got lost from the outset.

In Other Words "Poems"

I wrote a book called In Other Words,

I would like to send you a copy that has

more stories. Please 

It's saying stories are put into poetic rhyme!

 

When the lightning strikes

The rains will flow

When the thunder sounds

The winds going to blow

Hurricane is the story put in rhyme...

Story is put into rhyme "Code"
