Did I Touch You Somewhere

By L. J. Underdue

The author wishes to convey and provoke heartfelt memories, stirring emotions of love, desire, jealousy, abuse, melancholy, fear, anxiety, and mortally unanswerable questions.

From loving innocence to forbidden visions to painted serene verbal muralssome material may be graphic, while others are simple and peaceful.

The author was a member of the World of Poetry and received a silver certificate award; a member of Who's Who in America and Who's Who in America, Women.

Hopefully you, the reader, will have thoughts and emotions tugged at; thus, did i touch you somewhere?

L. J. Underdue

L. J. Underdue was born in New Jersey, attended Montclair High School for two years and then Tom’s River High School North until graduation, and then attended Bloomfield College for three years. Since completing a poem in first grade, L. J. Underdue found a fondness for poetry, also being a third-generation poet. Writing was also found to be a release and therapeutic—a way to express the inner thoughts and soul, letting us all affirm that we share the same human experiences and emotions.

There once was a puppy from Natchez

Who went to New York to fight Cassius

But you’ll never guess who won-

And had so much fun-

It was that little brown puppy from Natchez!
