Alone

Alone The rustling wind whispers memories fond of the person I was before I was me. The dog barks! I rush to see the subject of his attention, and not seeing, listen, for an answer that never comes. and I am lonely!

Wonderful way to describe nostalgia. Even the dog cannot help the hereandnow. Congrats on the selection.

It's good to know you liked the poem but I'm new to this blog and not very computer savvy. I do appreciate the honor, but what is SKAT and what is the significance of having my poem featured there. How do I access it ?
