I sit alone not another human around Zoe my only company as cute as she is, she is a mongrel mutt half yorkie, half schnauzer only interested in her world play ball, throw rag bone feed her it is Friday in February and all Thibodaux is socked in from the rain which has stopped turning cold too much traffic on slick streets so I sit in The Hovel reading Misery, by David L. Lindsey read it before liked it, reading it again good books make you wonder what has life done to the neighbor next door he is keeping a secret from everyone until they perp-walk him into the police station charged with an awful crime and we never knew he was such a happy, kind man we never knew so many people are not who we think they are people who use and abuse their wives their husbands worse, the kids as I sit here waiting for my Queen I'm keeping a wary eye out for everybody the world is not a fifties sit com nor is it Little House on the Prairie we live in a vicious world until I grew old enough to realize John Lennon's "All you need is love, love, love . .. All you really need is love" just about says it all ©February 10, 2012 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Yes indeed...it is something special to see the world free of rose-colored glasses, and still know that Love is a universal truth. Even the most jaded, secretly wish for it (<-- takes one to know one on that, for me)  Happy Valentine's Day, Jerry |

Yes, Nicole, and I was one of those who fit the "jaded" description until about six months ago, and my attitude and poetry have drastically changed. Thank you, always, for reading my work and commenting. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Yup, John Lennon had it all figured out. That is, of course why they shot him. The world is a masquerade ball JP. You really never know who's who... or even who exactly you're dragging home till you are home and the masks come off. Then it's usually too late to do anything about it. If you figure it out before then, don't worry... they'll shoot you too. enjoyed.Michael |

Naw, I've been down too many back alleys for the a**holes to shoot me. I'm old, but the a**holes won't shoot me, because except for one person in this old world, Michael, I trust no one. If you don't trust, they can't surprise you. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
