So much hurting in this Frank, that line "sister to the northern lights" is a classic statement that has so much meaning to me. I feel the vulneability of youth in this and you described it so well.

I'm sure I saw this one before but I see no comment I made. Anyway, it's an outstanding poem, Frank. that challenge of writing to your 16 year old self sure brought out a gem from you. Congrats, belatedly , for your win.

This is one of those free-verse non-rhyming poems I was talking about... that I admire, because it's poetry without having to rhyme, and because it helps me see a glimpse of who the writer is. love it.

What a beauty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm late in finding your most recent poem........but not too late to tell you how it touches my heart with the poignant, sad, and tender feeling of young ideals that stay alive in us, and young love that never dies. Very very lovely, Frank... this has amazing heart.:)
