Emile Pinet Poet Verse

Bits And Pieces

My youth is a puzzle, missing bits and pieces,
fragmented memories of family.

                          Piecemeal, faded
                            recollections.

I recall some brief moments spent in happiness,
and yet, a veil of fear shadows the rest.
I don't remember any suppressed stuff,
those blank gaps mark my memories as incomplete.

        Can time complete a puzzle with
        a jumble of missing pieces?

                          Dad lost pieces;
                            fighting a war.

Sigrid Ermine September 3, 2020 at 4:31 PM Congratulations on your Win, Emile. It's not so much of a cause to celebrate, to know your Dad was badly injured in war. That would have impacted your childhood significantly, even if he did his best not to let it. I admire your skill as a writer. Your ability to change form, chameleon entirely convincing is an excellent asset. Emile Pinet September 4, 2020 at 5:45 AM Thanks Sigrid, I appreciate your comments my friend, Emile.
