Joseph Leidig Poet Verse

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!

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 ?
