Who Was She?

By Neil Fleischmann

n

h

She was "happy to see you"

I was "dahling"

She never heard

I always repeated

l

At 90 she followed Nathan

Leaving grandchildren, memories,

and me


Does everyone have an Aunt Clara

To whom they could not relate

But can not forget?

I love that poem, Neil. Succinct, yet reveals a lot.

Thank you. I wrote it about twenty years ago when my great aunt passed away. I particularly appreciate comments on poems. Thank you again so much. You praised just what I was hoping would be how the poem worked.
