Matthew Anish Poet Free verse

Memores of Eddie Birchmore

A heavy man 
     (in more ways than 
          one"
Got his message across
       before he left 
             this mortal
                 coil 
    Let us remember 
to "get our asses to the 
     polls and vote"
Eddie Birchmore

I do know the old song Suddenly, last Summer... do u know the movie, A Summer Place, from way back in the 60's.. a real tear jerker ..like a chick flick but so popular .. reminded me of young luv and beach fun.. with luv from the "Sweetheart"

Andrea Dietrich May 9, 2010 at 1:50 PM I don't really know about this person, but I like this poem and its message, Matthew. Thanks for your welcome response to me today . Luv, andrea

Carolyn Devonshire May 6, 2010 at 9:41 AM Thank goodness he got his message out before he passed, Matthew. We need to be reminded that complaining after the fact is pointless if we didn't use our voice in the elections. Great statement here! Love, Carolyn
