(free verse) * A Great Grandfather's Lament
I have children
and they have children
and one of those children has a child
but no one writes to me
not even Daemon (who is almost three)
And I am not even Jewish
(so what am I... chopped liver?)
* free verse... prose on a poem site
Cast your bread upon the waters... Try writing to them and see if they will write back! (I now have three great-grandsons.)
I haven't received a hand written letter in years. To be fair, I haven't sent one either.
Nobody writes them anymore, do they? Everyone uses e-mail or the phone.

Hey, it's Kim, temporarily using the title Kumarmani gave me! How he came up with it, I'll never know!
