Sprightly and very much alive
For someone seventy-five
Wearing her trade mark sunglasses
To hide any trace of wrinkles

I loved the story and the psychology underlining this write. A wonderful read.
Every person may have such an odd past and nobody can really dig it out. In a way, it is unnecessary also. What is important is the present time. One may be a missionary now but might have been a criminal decades ago. So what? Does the past matter to us more than the present? Let us just accept the present and get on with it. To accept or reject that person is an individual question. We can listen to the whisperings of life. It is reflective and contemplative and nothing more than that.
An interesting story, that ends with a continued suspense. I expect Part II of this one soon from your pen. This poem reminds me a academy award winning movie by name Fedora.......Very good composition.
Nicely composed keeping the enigma ongoing while revealing only what adds to but does not solve it. The ending is a good one.
A narrative poem very well written and a great portrait very well ''shaped '' with a good critical sense.Thank you for sharing...............10++++++
its indeed nice to read your lines you come up with poems and ideas so nice and different 10++++
A fine pen portrait of your enigmatic neighbour. The glamour of being mysterious cannot be overestimated. I agree with, Alison. I like her very much. Love, SandraX
Great enigmatic description which proves once again: nothing speaks to us of another's identity so much as their very presence, which can whisper things we don't even realize we're catching.
Sandra, she sounds fascinating. You have painted her portrait with perception and a confident brush in this wonderful descriptive poem. I can really see your Mysterious Neighbour - and I like her. A lot. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
'So she will continue to be an enigma Until someone uncovers Her true story –if there is one..' Dear Sandra, this enigmatic poem reminded me of one case in my life that left me with mystery close to the described here. Your poetic genious shines in this piece, striking flow and images. Thanks for sharing! Y.M.
ah yes! we all know someone like this... the mysterious woman.... with her mysterious past.... could this be her final act?
dear saandra, the end of almost all celibrities in the sixties are exactly like the one in your poem...
This is a fine work, Sandra, on the 'mysterious neighbor' we all, at one time or another, have probably experienced. 'Fearing her sarcasm With haiku-like concision' -very memorable lines! Very nicely done. :)
and this is a mysterious piece..Perhaps you can identify who she is really. Another great write, Sandra
haiku-like consicion.. wonderful. i like it much
Interesting a mystery. I love mysteries. Makes people curious. nice...........
Well, I am sure just about everyone can relate well to this fine poem, Sandra, as nearly everybody has had a mysterious neighbor at one time or another in their lives. You expressed this mystery very well in your excellent poem, so well that it made be recall a neighbor we had while I was growing up. She was a lot like the lady you described in your fascinating poem, only a little younger and we kids thought she worked for the CIA! A very entertaining write, Sandra. Carl.
a mysterious woman indeed....very well written indeed...10
Great piece Sandra...it seems there's something to remain hidden here....or the shame of a past....who knows...but the person behind the shades....very thought provoking poem my friend.....well expressed 10...as always
haha..we are curious one bit arent we all? ..loved this one
