    Persona

    He wore his anonymity like a well-tailored suit, a shadow in the peripheries of every social gathering. His real story, his narrative, was a carefully guarded secret, a mosaic of triumphs and tragedies known only to him. He was...

    • Wow, “quiet of gold” “spool of dark”
      I don’t know how you come up with such frantically good metaphors…
      This poem put me in a mood, especially since the lake looks something like Tickle Naked Pond (google it) in Vermont where we always swam when we were up there in the 50’s.

    • I am impressed with the picture you painted with these words.

      I am a big fan of porches, porch chairs, hammocks etc.

      I can imagine a lot. Who sat there last, why?

      who will lie on the hammock next?

      I have memories that make me do this imagining…and this poem brings up many of those memories.
