Sweet Harte

Well as you may or may not know I have a list of people I want to write poems for. When I added Lenka to this list she was one of 9. When I wrote this poem she was one of 62. So I'm sorry for the amount of time it took to finally write it, but I hope you enjoy it. N.B. I've now written poems for 8 of these 9 poems. Orius Rove, I will write you a poem eventually, even if you no longer go on this blog and most likely will never read it. But I'll write it one day just the same.

Sweet Harte

By day she’s known as Lenka Sweet

By night as Jodi Harte

Though seemingly different people

They cannot be told apart

Though Jodi Harte is a con artist

Cold eyes of ocean blue

A rainbow clip in her ebony hair

Sarcastic, calm and true

Whilst Lenka Sweet, she always smiles

Delightful to her friends

Talented and awesome sauce

Her good skills have no end

Jodi Harte, her parents dead

She fights with twin sai swords

An elemental, loves to bake

And gather her rewards

Yet Lenka Sweet with wondrous taste

Starkids, SP, Glee

She loves to write, she does it well

An excellent fantasy

Jodi Harte is a twisted soul

Or maybe a broken mind

Though she isn’t evil, she isn’t good

She’s the hard to place gray area kind

Lenka Sweet is such a kind soul

So wonderful funny and weird

In the best type of way (it’s a good thing okay)

No wonder she’s often revered

Yet these twin personalities deeply entwined

Are actually one and the same

Jodi Harte is a mask for the Lenka beneath

A person to cope with the blame

For our dear Lenka Sweet who we love and adore

Has suffered tough times in the past

Though I don’t wish to mention them

I just want to say that your friendships with us are to last

For the friends that we make are so precious

Outlasting empires and more

So I’m glad you came back to be with us

Not a golden memory of yore

For Jodi and Lenka are treasures

So different and yet so the same

Both special and wondrous and brilliant

In the shadows, a burning bright flame
