Poetry
by Roger Singer OF REALITY AND DENIAL A strong reflection Of years past Lay smooth On the image Of the face Gazing in the Window
at Themselves. Lines curving Like stars bursting From corners Of lips and eyes Lay covered In the thinness Of the window, Hiding the sins Of
reality and denial. Winds lift Push
and move From the center Spinning out And away Leaving abandoned The youth Once clear Without blemish. Mr. Singer began writing poetry in the military many years ago, for relaxation and
to express thoughts in an abstract form. He enjoyed the challenge poetry
offers, unlike the articles he has written, which are straight forward. Poetry
allows the writer to step to the side from general thoughts, thus creating a miniature story which in and of itself can bifurcate
into other levels of literary form.
