Posthumously

He visited my home and remarked that maybe my work might become more popular when I die. But that is not conciliation. I write for the now, many of my poetry addresses things current. When I went back and look at some postings in the Huff Post, my own works made me cry. And the comments there never help dry my tears. Appreciative people told how they cried and they thanked me for the Tributes for Ted Kennedy. I am glad to be alive to witness this.

Posthumously

Poetry I wrote with pain and tears

Or the expressions of my uneasy years

Shared that friends might know

Troubled times before I go

How I wanted to hear from you then

Use feedback to navigate my problems when

Men and nature stepped in the way

Obstructed the path and cause me to stray

Usurp guidance from the things I wrote

Show others who had been taking note

Life might have been different with my poetry

Yet you only noticed my work posthumously
