REMEMBERING By David Allen For decades I was the elephant in the room, jotting down what I saw and heard when I attended trials and responded to wrecks, fires, murders and mayhem.. I typed up what I saw and heard and editors splashed the stories across newspaper pages. We were the community’s memory. I spent 20 years reporting in the Far East. On the fiftieth anniversary of the War in the Pacific I interviewed scores of veterans, sharing their memories of those harrowing, island-hopping days. A decade ago I retired from newspapers and threw myself into poetry, remembering in verse all I experienced in a life full of words. NOTE: This is one of three poems of mine featured In the new issue of The Last Stanza Poetry Journal (Issue six). It's an excellent magazine. Get it at Amazon.com.
