apprehension and aggression perhaps even fear upon meeting him at first a bit gruff and concealing but people are like that and when I grasped he was simply dying too I then saw the child if we were all just a tad taller |

Indeed...I love how you've captured this vision...seeing the child. I look for that too; not often enough, though. ~K~ |

 fear drowns out our vision sometimes . . . I liked how it did not in your poem. |

reb, I'm taking this as a poem about your father who you haven't seen for a long time and is dying. Am I off the mark (as I often am)? |

Nice... though I interpret it more about meeting our preconceived notions... simple and complex, you. I like it that way.  |

LR Whatever the meaning ...this touches a truth about people and feeling and that makes it good poetry. |

thank you one and all...  Deer and Blazey, I'm not long on explaining poetry, I think the potential for uncovering insights in the reader that were unintended by the writer are one of the higher aspects of the art. I will say though -- that my father died nigh on 4 years ago now.. but, that doesn't mean that it couldn't have been about seeing him before he died. It could also certainly be about meeting pre-conceived notions. I like what I'm hearing. |

"I think the potential for uncovering insights in the reader that were unintended by the writer are one of the higher aspects of the art." that's exactly it! |

Wow. This is an awesome piece. Going back now to read it for a fourth time. Chris Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale. |
