VIEWING (For Cooper Mardesich, 2004-2008)


Death’s Inn must be a lovely place
With such a perfect Guest.
For such prestigious innocence
God must reserve the Best.

He has to save the finest rooms
For angels’ Residence.
With such prodigious purity
There must be Precedence.

Hello. I'm NAO. The other day, you gave a nice comment on my paintings. Thank you very much. I visited your site and blog today, because you had mentioned Emily Dickinson. Your poetry reminds me of her lines--this poem in special. Witty and beautiful rhymes and unexpected and amazing ending. I like your poetry.
