"With an often politically satiric voice, Pairs of Poems embraces freeways and oceans, warehouse stores and forests, urban parks and picketers. In these twenty-two pairings, F.I. Goldhaber's images move easily from the domestic to the celestial, from a cat's small nose-smudges left on a window to the moon 'marked with sleep lines' at dawn. This collection is the candid record of a seasoned writer who, when faced with 'plot roadblocks,' turns to a 'steamy hot shower,' wondering with wit '...how any good prose was written before running water.'"--Poet Paulann Petersen, Author of The Wild Awake and Blood-Silk "The title Pairs of Poems gives the reader the key to enjoying this book. Each numbered section features two poems about similar themes written in different moods. I love the poet's use of colorful language and the accessibility of the ideas to even a non-poet like me. The poet writes with equal pathos and sly humor about our current political morass and nature."--Marlene Howard, Co-owner/publisher Media Weavers press, Co-founder Oregon Writers Colony
Betrayal
My words spill out
on the page, exposing
my heart and mind.
--
I share my words
with the world, but only
when I've weighed each
--
one to make sure
it is the perfect choice
to reveal my
--
thoughts. For more than
a quarter century
I have earned my
--
way in this world
with words. She stole my words;
words not ready
--
for the world to
see. Words that should have brought
money appeared
--
on her blog for
all to read. I mourn the
loss of my words.
