Bio Note: I recently began writing poetry at nearly age 65, after retiring from a long career as an attorney. When not writing poetry, I enjoy hiking with my wife, and reading anthologies of 20th Century American poems. In addition to Verse-Virtual, my poems have appeared in The Lyric Magazine, Snakeskin, and The Society of Classical Poets, among other journals.

Images of Old Friends

Because her appearance
Is not like before,
She won’t get together
With us anymore.

But it’s so ironic
That she is estranged,
For our view of her is
Forever unchanged.

Satisfaction

He lost a giant fish,
Thereafter caught three more.
Achieving every wish,
But still it wasn’t four.
