LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON
(c1948)You're my dad
You look like me
Or at least
How I used to be
When I was the same
As you were then
(c1991)
(c1989)
Now all that remains
Of these two men
Is some photographs
Before and after
And two whole lifetimes
Of love and laughter
(2013)
MORE 24... For Miz Quickly's wordle
LOOPHOLE
Slip knot detour
Avoids cold slab aftermath
Shocked, boring guest
Furiously crossed palm
With 'modest' transfer value

Love, love the first poem and the photos, Stan. And the wordle is masterful. How the heck did you do that?

Love the poem about you and your dad, Stan. Thank you for that. The second piece is an amazing accomplishment. I stand and applaud you in my modest living room in Montana.
ReplyDeleteStriking, photos and verse.
