Chimera

A New Englander by birth and disposition and trained as a psychologist and minister, Kenneth Weene has worked as an educator and psychotherapist. His poems and short stories have appeared in numerous publications, and an anthology of his writings, Songs for my Father, was published by Inkwell Productions. Ken's novels, Widow's Walk (click here to read an excerpt, here to hear an excerpt) and Memoirs From the Asylum have recently been published by All Things That Matter Press. This poem makes us wonder ... Sometimes a poem is just a poem, and sometimes a poem is a chimera.

Chimera 
By Kenneth Weene
It is a chimera—
that poem you wrote
the one that won the prize
the one you read last night.
An illusion—
we have never met,
loved, 
or said goodbye.
Words with no meaning
that can only signify.
