when we lose whom we love its a lot like death so I went to a store to purchase some joy I thought it was overpriced so I bought pleasure instead I decided I needed some sunny skies I also picked up some clabbered clouds and then after taking a very deep breath looked all around and pilfered a reproduction of your smile went home put on an oldie but a goodie sad song put your smile on the mantle cried to the words of the song passed yet one more day ©August 23, 2015 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Enjoyed. Crying to old songs is a downer. Too sad we become too soon. Been in that place and was cautioned to turn the music off unless I could find something cheerful to turn on. Best to you Jerry,Jo |

Who would ever look for intimate memories on the mantle of a shoplifter? True, it was perhaps a priceless 'Felony' or at the very least a motivated 'Misdemeanor', but there isn't a jury in the world that would convict you. Let's just throw it out of court and give you $5, a second-hand suit, and a BIG hug! 88's on a great write JerryPat She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |

Whoa! Thank YOU so much for your fantastic comment, luminosity. I am sure, however, there are other poems which outclass this one. But it sure felt good to read your words. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |
