An Apostrophe: An address to a dead or absent person, or personification as if he or she were present.
HOLD
Hold still,
ease the frown
let me see you
one last time
as you turn to go
our eyes meeting
over words unsaid
between us.
Hold softly
to my image
as I treasure your laughter
deep in my heart
to keep me smiling
as I bide my time,
till we are together
again.

Silly me, I expected a lesson on correct apostrophe use! Misuse is a pet peeve of mine! I didn’t know it was a figure of speech.

Lovely! I had no idea about this alternative meaning for the word, and I’m a poet! My posts are a ZtoA of the best children’s poets. 100 of them. They have all sent a poem, and they are wonderful. http://www.poetryroundabout.com ~Liz
