The Redress: a poem



















 

Your wife stresses that
we must live in memories
from second grade
through college, where -
bless her -
she pressed on:
creating your future
impressing your duties
obsessing over
her wedding dress,
stoically repressing our plans.

Nevertheless,
our past possesses a life and power
she hasn't been able to depress.
Still, we're wrong together,
I confess.

    Lisa,
    Thanks for reading. I haven't placed the call yet. Mike showed me what he has in mind to place around the tree: a wooden trellis that I have high hopes for being a solution. I'm still planning on checking in with your contact, though.


    WW,
    I appreciate that......thanks, thanks!


    Honour,
    Yea! I'm so glad to receive your compliment!


    Francessa,
    Thanks so much! You are an astute observer, my friend. Don't you admire the bangs my mother made using pin-curls? The subject of the poem is there too, but will remain unspecified... :)

    Awesome bangs on that sprightly little girl! Must have taken some time!

    I think that today's hairstyles are so much more attractive, but who knows, maybe in the future when we look back on pictures of today they will seem odd as well!

BEGINNING IN 2014 I will reply to only occasional comments here, while appreciating every visit and all comments! My reason is to enable me to utilize that time to read and comment on your blog posts instead! If/when I get more organized I may later return to replying to comments here, but one of my New Years resolutions is to spend more time at your sites: reading, enjoying, learning! Thank you for understanding.

If your blog is associated with a Google+ account, I may not be able to visit you from your namelink. I do not wish to join Google+ and the site sometimes requires that I do so in order to read/comment on posts there.
