April Poem-a-Day — April 20, 2014


Sunday, April 20th, 2014

For today’s prompt, write a family poem.

 

 

Though my father’s death was not a surprise,

At the end, there was still a shock.

Among his things, a photo caught our eyes,

Though my father’s death was not a surprise.

A photo of a sister we did not recognize,

Who too did not know she was one of our stock.

Though my father’s death was not a surprise,

At the end, there was still a shock.

 

Gammelor Goodenow

 Dedicated to the sister I never knew existed and whom I will never meet.
