A Little Grayer Now
By Bobbie Troy
I saw him
at Starbucks
for the first time
since our divorce
his mustache
was a little grayer
and bigger
as if he were
trying to hide
our years together
behind one
little part of himself
I enjoyed your poem, so concise, yet insightful. An economy of words can be a great blessing in a poem and yours shows that,
Lovely poem, Bobbie
Nice poem Bobbie!
Simple and unpretentious, but poignant. I like it.
interesting look back…thanks Bobbie…
Really enjoyed it, Bobbi.
Thank you, everyone!!
Great work! A lot of complexity in such short verse.
You can try to hide, but those feelings tend to pop up when you least expect them. Nice job,
