It’s Fandango’s Flashback Friday! This poem was originally written for the dVerse Poet’s Pub exactly one year ago today. I hope you enjoy it.
For today’s Meeting the Bar at the dVerse Poets Pub, we are writing to the First-Person Narrative, using “I am” as part of our poem. The voice and the specific point of view is you, the poet.
I am somebody
else not the one
I used to be, the one
everyone remembers.
Even my shadow
is a
stranger’s silhouette —
the shadow
of what once was.
Sometimes, even I am fooled
but when I can glance quickly enough
(before it knows I’ve seen it)
it is only obvious that
it
should be following
somebody else.
Ergo, the Ogre 
Tell it like it is
