Tonight's Poet Corner: Sonnet Solstice #164
She Loves Her
by Belinda Roddie
She loves her, no matter what her mom says
or how her father scoffs. She will not yield
to "biblical" demands. Still, what a mess
her romance has left. She cannot quite wield
persuasion at her parents and is told
she cannot stay unless she will repent
and "turn to God." Her heart heavy as gold,
though not as lovely, she packs up a bent
suitcase and goes to the only place she
believes she can be safe - yes, it's the home
of her dear girlfriend, loved by family
and supported by friends. The seed is sown,
and she is welcomed. She loves her, and she
will not give up that truth for anything.
