the blank page not unlike a deserted road the page is there for you to spin your magic write your poem for a better tomorrow the road likewise it is there for you to run hanging thumb in the wind hoping for good luck, knowing you won't find it you spend time writing on the page even as you are putting miles behind you and good old town USA breathing agreeable air that comes from each mile of freedom you put behind you and home sweet (not)home the tumultuous weather conditions a distant remembrance of home a hollowing inside your chest cause you to think once again of home . . . a place of small town secrets . . . a place to run screaming from and write words on napkins while you're slurping your coffee a long, long way from good old town USA ©December 19, 2016 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Yes Mr. Bolton...and the many, many pages we fill along our sometimes 'wayward' way on the hardened road toward home. I really like this. It has the scent of things that go way back in our time. Pass the Glade if you're going to do that here... |

Yes PU, it does have a bit of nostalgia interlaced within the stanza. Thank you for rescuing me, it is very much appreciated. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

You're more than welcome Sir! You always reply to everyone Mr Bolton. Many need to relearn this quality. You're a fine example of what a member should be, and you always have been. Just out looking for the real me... |

I confess the mean streets, the hard knocks, and everything in between look good on ya JP, and make for some great poetry. |

Just a guess here, but I'm going to go out on a limb a say you have been the you that you are today (writer and poet) longer than you were the you of the mean streets. The hard times might have given you an edge, but it isn't who you are now. ~L |
