Tales he tells read like a missive
His arms and...

Words I use to describe my father:

Strong. 
Athletic. 
Bald. 
Kind of scary.

Tears roll down
Streaks of wetness
Melancholia presides
Aqua


Look up
See new frames
Picture portraits

Mama's Golden Pond Cried


Mama loved to chew 
off the Golden Pond

chew the fat
of their autumn leaves, 
dressed in splendor,
a scenic lake and cabin,

smiling at her

With highlights of sun in his auburn hair.

(7/5 Trochee rhyme form)

They’re coming. Listen closely.
Hear that distant thrum. . . 
that steady thrum- thrum- thrumming
of a tom-tom drum.

There! Beyond the cornfield rows.
Tell me, don’t you see

forward stealthily?
