We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for." ~ Professor Keating (Robin Williams) in "Dead Poet's Society"

Wives Alone
Wives Alone
War Wives sit Waiting with Worried faces For warrior husbands To return from battle- Fields, to resume once again The spouse’s space, the parent’s face The friend, the lover, the confidant, The lawn mower, the barbeque cooker.
