Daver Austin Poet Free verse

Profile

PROFILE - to be read slowly

left side
now quickly!
another glance
not becoming
left side? – well?
perhaps the right side
just as bad
the resemblance is stiking!
my father    but
as an old man
no!    i’ll look head-on
yes!    
better
i see the once youth
memories flood
first friends
first love    and
that unbounded energy
i’ll not try profile again

Carolyn Devonshire February 8, 2012 at 10:40 AM Really enjoyed this witty poem, Daver. I think my situation is the reverse. When I stare "head-on" into the mirror, I see my grandmother. The profiles look better because my long hair hides so much. Great write! Love, Carolyn Daver Austin February 8, 2012 at 1:24 PM I'm looking at your head-on picture, and you are a knockout! Love, daver
