Annmarie Lockhart, editor of vox poetica, has been reading and writing poetry since she could read and write. A lifelong Bergen County resident, she lives two miles from the hospital
where she was born.
This is the first Ray Brown poem to be published at vox poetica. Ray began writing during a personal crisis in 1987 and continued sporadically while going about his day. In December 2008, his blog went live and since then Ray's poems have been published in more than a dozen journals and he has become a popular reader at a number of live venues. Listen to him talk about his writing on 15 Minutes of Poetry. And let's hope this spring finds no one rejecting its advances.

Ray, I'm catching up on some reading and found this little gem. Thanks. I particularly like the tension of the past rejection and the fact that the persona is in the same place again. The cyclical nature of life is clear and the choices are not necessarily easier the second (or third or . . .) time around. So well captured in those brief lines. Reply to this

to find where I had left myself
many winters ago
