Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 05/23/09 at 07:39 PM True for every generation, age takes from us what ever we inherit and gives us what we earn; your shelves, my shelves, the entire cabinet of our character. What a ponderous verse, Chris. Thanks. |
Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 05/23/09 at 07:43 PM Solid symbolism. Indeed we are made up of those "memories". Greg's comments very germaine. |
Posted by Charlie Morgan on 05/23/09 at 09:50 PM ...chris, quite a sweet w/ real life love and compassion...this touches that lil' unameable feeling that we get from 'belonging' to a good memory and you posit more are coming, quite, quite...a slice of life's meaning in this one, mebubba. |

Posted by Kris Mara on 05/26/09 at 12:44 PM this is a perfectly rounded piece, from the first line to the last (which works so well to tie it all up right and tight) -- I agree with the "solid symbolism" comment -- that really says all that you've captured here. I'm putting this on my shelf :) |

Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 06/02/09 at 02:55 PM I also love the symbolism here - well developed, a solid place to visit from time to time. Thank you. |
