Reflective poem: The Rhode Island Roads Magazine, March, 2006
Bernice Day and her parents.
|
remember that shingled cottage gray with salt
where the flag swayed in early light
and the aged ben franklin
simmered with the coats of driftwood
we filling the twin pine rockers unaware of their untold tales
as the atlantic roared its pleasure
conquering the mountainous boulders in triumph
like a dali figure balancing the sea on his knee
the journey to frankensteins department store
maneuvered that day bringing bewilderment
as we viewed the tiny five and ten
the shopping center promised denied
like madeline’s vision come alive
on st. agnes eve
silencing
as angela’s antique face dusty
like memories forgotten in the darkness
of the attic without forgiveness

The detail in this poem is fantastic. 'shingled cottage gray with salt', 'the aged ben franklin/simmered with the coats of driftwood', 'as the atlantic roared its pleasure/conquering the mountainous boulders in triumph/like a dali figure balancing the sea on his knee', stood out for me. Loved the poignancy in the final stanza, tinges the piece with sadness and gives a feeling of the speaker yearning for nostalgia.

Beautiful word pictures of a time I remember athough the place was thousands of miles away. Gone but not forgotten.
