Re: Chris's 2013 NaPoMo


Powerful poem, Chris. I don't know the true story I assume it is based upon but don't need to.

Thank you both.
______________________________



For Rose and Eli


Still sister and brother
although they are an antique pair
picking up a conversation grown cold
when they were in the thick of it

a companionable conversation
habits of thought that survived
the thinning out,

seashells in the backwash
of a tremendous wave.

Re: Chris's 2013 NaPoMo


You paint a tender picture of the "antique pair" and then deliver an unexpected and oh-so-effective ending:

seashells in the backwash
of a tremendous wave.

I really like this one, Chris. You've done a good job capturing a heartbreaking mix of emotions.

Leaves me wanting the back story. Is that fair?

Thank you, Kat. No big back-story, Tere. Rose and Eli are my mother and uncle...just a sketch/impression of them; two of three remaining members of a family of seven,

Chris

Best learn to live
in the peaks and troughs
an ocean of reverberations.

Good way to express the interconnectedness of all things, Chris, and how that effects any one of us.
