just the facts

she was only three
it was a walking doll
her eyes closed when she
was laid on her back
she wore a ruffled dress
hair: blond
eyes: blue
it was a walking doll
when she was laid on her back
her eyes fell closed
she wore a ruffled dress
she was only three

About Sharon Brogan

Disclaimer

Please do not assume that I am the speaker/ subject of my poems.

In these times of creative nonfiction and fictionalized memoirs, I think of the poem itself as true fiction: it is most likely not factual, but it must be true.

It is likely to be -- it is best if it is -- a truth I did not know before I wrote, and may not understand even then.

A poem is my way of discovering (dis-covering) what I feel; sometimes, what I think -- but it is not necessarily biographical.
