Images

by Terry Olynik


Over the crawl of decades,
Your image has gently faded,
Perhaps mercifully from my mind.

Your taking when you left,
Of every single photographic image,
Furthers the diminution of my remembrance.

I suppose if the need be,
Should my memory need a jog,
I could consult the composite police sketches.

The end of this was a surprise and brings to mind a whole new image. Interesting and also scary in a way. I like!

You have this amazing and unique ability to effortlessly weave dark humor into the quintessentially poetic. It's brilliant, and I love it.

You definately have a unique poetry style and wit...I have always loved and appreciated your humor, dark, devilish, or otherwise. :)

Now I've had my belly laugh for the day. Thanks, Terry.

just the right turn-of-a-card dark and impossible not to grin with grim thrill ;)
