Paulette Calasibetta Poet Verse

Solitude

The secrets we tuck away,
                                   Locked within our memory,
                                   Ghostly images hover,
                                   In quiet solitude they will rise.

Joseph P. DiMino February 23, 2022 at 6:40 PM Haunting little write, Paulette~well said. Nothing is ever entirely forgotten -- not joy nor pain. We are far more ghostly images than we know, the history of mankind tucked away in our DNA. Paulette Calasibetta February 24, 2022 at 6:33 AM Indeed! I think it is safe to say we all share in this common melancholy of memories. :)Paulette
