dust jackets




we settled
on words that could not
be repeated - meeting
between
the history and fiction sections
of our lives; we

exchanged
library cards, letters
with keys
attached - a bobby pin
fell between a
hard cover
and dust jacket; you took
note
offering
a palm reading

should
I remove the
jacket pinning down
words prefaced

    Life and history in terms of a dust jacket - absolutely brilliant analogy. Love it! (Hugs)Indigo

    I have to go with Indigo, it is a brilliant analogy. Yes, remove the dust jacket & release those words...

    Besides your talent of composing poetry, you have a true poetic sense also either in your selected quotations or the shape of your blog. It seems you are made of "poesy". Congrats
