BOB BRADSHAW
Mango And Pears			

The mango holds the blush
she had in the first painting.
But it mocks her like rouge
on an old woman's face.
Her posture isn't as erect.
The pears that attended her
in her prime
pale now with a yellow color
in their cheeks.
Like women with hidden
bruise marks they
carry a sadness,
a resignation that
wasn't there just
a few days
ago.

BIO

KELLY WHITE
CONTACT
her poem 'Forfeit' suggests that accumulated information shields against personal failure. Stanza 1 gives us information but we know almost nothing of the persona's life; stanza 2 defines the persona as a grandmother and homekeeper - formal attributes. KELLY WHITE moves from unfamiliar to familiar; but, we know nothing of the depths of persona. Perhaps the abrupt couplets demonstrate the truth behind personal relationships - dissolution, death, and disbelief.
BIO: A native of New Hampshire, White has been a pediatrician in inner-city Philadelphia since 1980.

KELLY WHITE
Forfeit

I had been the perfect child:
valedictorian,
national merit scholar,
Dartmouth,
Rufus Choate scholar,
phi beta kappa, 
summa cum laude,
senior fellow,
Harvard Medical School,
Richard C. Cabot prize;

three beautiful (grand)children;
(I even came in second for New Hampshire
in the Betty Crocker Search
for the Homemaker of Tomorrow,
first for my school;)

then my husband finished his training as a plastic surgeon
and was finished with me.

We all started dying faster.
My father got there first.

He believed, 
even more than I,
in the goodness of men.
