| Posted by Clara Mae Gregory on 11/14/09 at 11:25 AM wow! Another gem. I just love this one too, Tony! I guess because I can so relate. Silence can be a good thing sometimes. re:"Are they sharing some distant memory? Or just enjoying each other’s company?"
Or could it be both? Oh, I just love this painting of words. You are a master of imagery. :) |

| Posted by Glenn Currier on 11/18/09 at 01:56 PM Well, you can consider me an admiring and appreciative visitor - from one skin sagger to another :-) The leaves you drop on us in general and with this poem in particular are a delight to see and read. I loved the scene you painted - all misty-eyed on your balcony, especially the old couple. Like all good poets, you notice with keen clarity and creativity. Thanks, Tony. |
| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 11/20/09 at 10:51 AM I enjoyed the "tiny plastic surgeons", the "wet prisms", the flow of that third stanza, and those last two lines. That first line invites me in so well. |
| Posted by Ken Harnisch on 11/21/09 at 10:24 PM ah, that awesomely profound last line makes the rest of the poem that much more a treasure, Tony. |
| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 02/14/10 at 08:06 PM An elegant expression of the passing of time. Of the aging process - both of nature and humankind. The last two lines speak volumes to me. Don't wait until I am too old to enjoy your company! |
