Poems and Thoughts    by Frank Maurer

Lauretta, PA (A Physician Assistant). I am a biologist (joying in observing various morphologies), Also a stone carver, slowly creating petroglyphs with a mallet and chisel, As well as a poet of sorts, constantly attempting to verbalize that which I perceive. When I had my appointment with you to discuss my hip implant, I could not help but admire the perfection of your ear, The marvellous expression of your eyes, flashing emotion, Both, cornered with sun-like rays of tiny lines, And the expression and caring and sympathy in your voice, As you expounded to me of possible outcomes to my condition. Also, never to be forgotten is your black hair, Very gently fringed with wisps of tiny white, Manifesting your growing wisdom as you flow towards your zenith of life. Thank you for such memories of which will linger always in my mind. Frank Maurer 19 August 2023 2023 Hours.
