Gentle Reader:
This is my response to my own prompt of yesterday. It took me two tries, interestingly. The first try turned into a different poem. I’ll post it later in the week.
This is what I meant by approaching the topic obliquely (from the side), metaphorically, and on a small scale, more or less in the manner of William Carlos Williams and the other poets I cited in the column. This is but one approach; there are many others. Irina has taken a rather more sweeping and literal approach to the prompt and written a beautiful poem.

A wonderful poem about loss. I might one day be able to write a poem like yours, I’d like to give it a go…one day.
Thanks for the mention.

Loss – part of life. Yes, it hurts, but I won’t be going through Orajel, because if I were supposed to have another set of teeth, I’d have been given one. When it happens, I’m making smoothies. Are you feeling any better?
