Incredible poem, Francisco. Each stanza brought a different hypothesis on what the poem might mean, while realizing that it means different things to each reader.

It does, there is a hidden reference but it definitely would mean something different to each reader. Thank you so much! All the best and a great Wine Time evening to you!

Signed my first traditional publishing contract last week.. pretty exciting:) Took a long hiatus from WP to and ended up published in a whole bunch of lit magazines.. etc.. as a result a lot of my former connections are gone.. looking for new friends and folks to engage on my turf too:)

It’s an amazing Poem, Francisco. This line alone: “I left the day that colors disappeared and rainbows became black and white…” touched me deeply. It creates a powerful image and even more powerful message.
