[hometext] => a poem about the death of my father.
[bodytext] => In a blur it seemed to happen, a room full of boxes, songs to be sung, an organist to be picked. At the start a look of shock, dread, reality, Then darkness drew. Voices hushed were shouting. That sting of truth, painful, numb, painless. A refusal of entry, an angy reply. Strength, not for the good of me, but for the dog, alone in the back kitchen, confused as to where it's owner was, was seen as shock, but i knew different. Strangers, neighbours, people; All intruders, none wanted: none refused. When time came for the grand reveal, boot laces untied, not by their owner but by unfamiliar hands, shattered places newly unknown to the senses. Then music, hands. More hands. Warm embraces, coldly received. But the comfort of the last conference, the last sight, where words said on my part found no reply, pressure not returned. A parting gift I new would be comfort for the ground. Then the box-gone, followed by three roses, their thorns embedded still. For their pain, I am grateful. I am grateful, they remind me.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
