Sightings

walking down
a straight and
narrow road

being able to
see every
telephone

pole
i saw
they all

had something
attached to
them and

as i approached
realized they
we're papers

with a photograph
of what seemed
to be an extremely

beautiful 
woman
but the

signs
we're
old as

if 
put
there

forever
but what
i read was

quite clear
Has Any
One

Seen This
Woman:
Missing

Her

I like the double meaning in the last stanza. I’m curious, did you mean to use “we’re” or were in stanzas 5 and 8?

Thanks for pointing that out Richard. Spellchecker likes a to think what I'm trying to write. It will be corrected.

Missing, or being missed, an ambiguous tantalizing imagery and I want to fit history into this sentence trying to describe a feeling but aware this sentence is running somewhere.

What a wonderful sentence Maureen. I rarely take photos anymore, even on trips; but this poem is in part for my first wife and mi Musa.
