To Denise
by Helen George


You came like
a breath of fresh air
over a stagnant pond.
Alas, the toads
that lived in the pond
were too unimaginative
to capture your essence,
and allowed you
to float away.

  1. [Written circa late 1980's for my boss. There were three Ass't. Dirs. where I worked. My boss was one; she was female, the other two were male. Sometimes they gave her a hard time and she left after about six months. So I wrote this for her.]
