Poetry Pairs: “Some One” with UT Tower Shooting, 1966
Over at Poetry for Life we’re discussing poetry pairs. Because Walter de la Mare’s poem “Some One” makes me think of a ghost, I wrote my own ghostly poem.
Homecoming
first, one is ghosted
and then the ghost’s work begins
close and protective
They sing, Don’t don’t you
forget about me,
reacclimation to
unseennesses happens
as quick as fall color
sheds its green cloak
– Megan Willome
I loved this book. As soon as I finished, I began reading it again.”
