Vera

Vera A woman of complexities – unfathomable – has gone to a place some believe – for others far beyond. This woman I have known for many years who has brought to me - many, many tears, has now left behind the man I call Dad, leaving him – in her wake – very, very sad. The thought of this makes me feel very bad, for this is not how I’d like to see my Dad. Vera, has been his partner, his companion, his life, his nemesis, his mother, his boss and his wife. Vera, tried in her own inimitable way to be accepted but for most, it was difficult, she was often rejected. B. J. “A ” 2 January 11th 2006

Hello Olive : Thank you Olive for stopping by and for your comments. I guess “ that's sad sad poem.. ” it is my Dear, but that is life and the dynamics of so many relationships. Strange and questionable relationships I guess can be considered “ intriguing in a way.. ” I never thought of it that way “ but a wow tribute.. ” my Dear, but I suppose the naked truth ( under the circumstances - although my Dad did not see it that way ) could be considered a “ tribute.. ” Nice to see a word or two from you. I see we have a mutual acquaintance – your fellow countryman - Nunez, Kim Patrice . I see that you have been very busy with your poetry this year. Keep up the good work Olive . B. J. “A” 2 ( Bill .)
