[hometext] => Labels seldom reveal the true sense of a person...
[bodytext] => My big brother Bob, was a swell guy All who knew him, fell under his sway The family swore he could charm A bird from a tree Bob, was a popular guy... He was my hero, growing up He could run faster Pitch a ball harder And fight his way To the top of a melee... In the sandlot Down the street When the gang chose Up for football It was always Bob'ud include me... Bob was compassionate And Bob was fair And when I really needed him Bob was always there To keep his little brother On track To fight his battles And to watch his back Until he was big enough To take care of himself That was my brother, Bob... And when he went Off to college He left me home Secure in the knowledge That he'd be back... A letter came In the post to-day It said that Bob Had fallen ill And slowly wasted away Bob had a secret Which he kept to himself He confided in no one Not even to me So the town was shocked To hear that Bob Was coming home To be buried, And to learn To our further dismay That Bob was...gay. Stoney 28 Nov '01 p.s. This is about a fictional brother; I'm an only child. Posted this in another forum and got commiserations about my dead brother. g [comments] => 1 [counter] => 201 [topic] => 46 [informant] => Stoney1 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => didactic )

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. ©
