[hometext] => Another one I wrote in the Fall of 2004 - This is still a little coarse, and I may someday re-write this one. I have to find the time to really think about it. Please bear with me.
[bodytext] => A Letter to Uncle Dear Uncle, Where are you? The Children are here. Do you not recognize us? You’ve left us to this baron plot. Have you forgotten the children? Footsteps placed once proudly over fields, mountains, and plains. Fished ponds, lakes, and streams Flowered meadows roamed freely. Now mother sighs with disbelief. The howls of wolves and crash of thunder Do you hear that? It is gone… What left but voices of doves? A whimper in the chilled night air. Where are you Uncle? Gazed eyes, stared and teared, looked beyond all stars. Through heavens, universe and hells, time marked by pounding hearts. But still ancestral eyes keep watch. Spirits borne like flight of eagles, on our mother’s breath soars high. Steadfastly we remain as one, proud people to the last. Where are you Uncle? You’ve taken all that you could, our land and our homes. And placed us on this confine because you know what’s best. But our spirit cannot be broken. We do not belong to you Uncle. For we belong to mother. Who are we? We know who we are. You can’t take that.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
