How is it acquaintances Choose to be friends? Born in the same year, but at opposite ends. How do separate lives form poetic book- ends?
I bore you with history, You gallantly try To grasp why the past Fascinates this old guy There are, certainly, more prolific pens. I view the great world Through a limited lens.
We’ve dealt with our losses We’ve buried dear dead. We’re maudlin at times When dusk signals days end That's when we tend to dwell on those dear to our heart. We’re on the same wavelength Just an ocean apart
Written about my poet friend, Wendy Thopliss, who is fighting COPD. A great lady and a fine poet. A friend I have never met in person as we live an Ocean apart.
