Driveway Roots The clouds like pink cheeks watched me in tender look at sweet old trailer from the good old days so long nested in driveway it grew roots and they tangled in my feelings now Too soon gone the cozy drifting time snuggle against a somewhere else where fragile moon looked in the slanted windows across the table where we sat and talked into the lovely night of this and that Just a step down was another place and more the door to oceans meadows greens and pools of pearls where just a toot and blow and turn around we found the swerve of hitched up often scary moved along We stored our dreams in one small space where summer time would trace our days across the world to fishing holes that pulled us with their lure enclosed and trouble double hook release an open fire and fish such feast no catch release Too soon gone the cozy drifting time snuggle against a somewhere else where fragile moon looked in the slanted windows across the table where we sat and talked into the lovely night of this and that ----------- 7/15/2002 |

Magical memories, and more. A place within to retreat to and savour because it will always be there. Oh, just to go back and relive such moments. We all have them. I thank you for sharing yours, the images created are complete. |

Oh boy! The poem grabbed me by its title even before I read the first line, Martie. But the first line cinched it for me and I was staring at the "clouds like pink cheeks" with you. You relate how the "sweet old trailer" was root infested and showing signs of decay. And this just made my day . . . quote: Memories of "talked into the lovely night of this and that" is very apparent throughout this wonderful penning poet. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Really nice, especially this verse. We stored our dreams in one small space where summer time would trace our days across the world to fishing holes that pulled us with their lure enclosed and trouble double hook release an open fire and fish such feast no catch release |

I could quote the entire piece but these lines held me for some reason -------------------------- We stored our dreams in one small space where summer time would trace our days across the world to fishing holes that pulled us with their lure enclosed and trouble double hook release an open fire and fish such feast no catch release -------------------------- Another gem from one of my favorite poets. Superb as always |

"Too soon gone the cozy drifting time snuggle against a somewhere else where fragile moon looked in the slanted windows across the table where we sat and talked into the lovely night of this and that" Love it!! This verse is a novel waiting for the sounds of a director saying "Lights, Camera, Action!!" Great write Martie. JL |
