The last installment in the Smith family poetry is one that I wrote after reflecting on pictures of Troy and Shanna. As was the case with most of the vacation family photos Troy shared with me, Shanna's smile spoke volumes about her as a wife, mom, and lady. It occurred to me that the smiles came from her heart, and from a life that produced heavenly songs .. the songs that show so prominently in her smiles.
All this inspired me to write the following, and as with all these little memorials, Shanna graciously said it was OK to share them here.
As usual, simply click on the image for an enlarged and more readable version.
I'm a poet...
And don't knowet...
But my feet showet...
They're Longfellows.
Why A Poetry Blog?
I've written poems for years, mostly acrostics for friends. Since the only place they're visible is on my computer monitor, or in a notebook in some now-forgotten drawer, and since Blogger is free, well .. why not stash some here? It'll look like I've been actually doing something .. when it's really just some cut & paste.....
