    OVER THERE

     SHE STANDS ON THE DOCK,
    ARMS OVER HER  FROCK ,
    WAVING GOODBYE AS HE LEAVES.
    HER SILKIN DRESS,
    BLOWING IN THE WIND,
    WATCHING THE SHIP,
    AS IT SEAVES.
    HEAD IN HAND,
    HEART ON HER SHOULD.
    KNOWING HE'LL NEVER RETURN.
    LOVE NOTES TO WRITE,
    PICTURES TO TAKE,
    SKELETONS TO BURN.
    NEWS OVER THE RADIO ALARMING,
    AS THE AXIS GAIN MORE GROUND.
    ROCKING IN HER CHAIR,
    KNITTING NEEDLES IN HAND.
    A CHILD SAYS " GRANNY,
    IT'S BEEN 30 YEARS,
    SENCE POPPY WAS THERE".

    This is different, but in a very good way. I can actually visualize the distraught woman, then 30 years later in a rocking chair knitting a pink scarf lol. Very well done.

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
