I wrote three poems "Two Windows" "The Bridge"(a two line poem in the center of the other two) and "Thomas Gordon". The three unite to create one shape poem in the shape of the letter H. This write was inspired by and is written for a hugely important person in my life. I hope this poem like a prayer reaches the ears of the universe and may it bounce back with positive results.
The Scarlet Letter H
Two Windows The Bridge Thomas Gordon
You could tell, He was an older man
You knew, With a nice smile.
One beside the other. He was always

Every moment His peers respected
Of every day Him. His demeanour

BOTH were opened Directly home.
An amazing On that fateful day

A natural, soothing, Into a burning home.
Refreshing, necessary, He saved two lives

But redundant?..., BUT redundant.
