Posted by Shannon McEwen on 01/22/12 at 07:59 PM love this too George - it's funny how poetry can end up being the "letters" you never send to those that made an impact (good or bad) |
Posted by Jeffrey Parren on 01/23/12 at 06:43 PM when you write "box" I am almost convinced it is a piece of paper, and then I imagine an actual box with the letters to a poem (or letter) scattered in it in an unorganized way almost in the same fashion thoughts are...littered on the mind of the host. either way this is powerful. as always. ~JPP |

Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 01/26/12 at 02:06 PM I'm glad you hung around, George my friend, if only to pen this marvelous ode, which in my mind is one of the best you've ever penned. George, you an old man? Never! Your perpetual youth belies the fact. |
