Benjamin Franklin Drive ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Where limo's stretch around a circle and palm's are draped toward the sun All it took was hearts and thunder A little magic has just begun Faces in a jewellers window find the diamonds in their eyes then weather talk, a little walk while heavy clouds are rising high In a place where sunsets melt into the ocean and the evening thunder air's electrified two young hearts begin a new commotion If you let them all your dreams can come alive when lightning strikes on Benjamin Franklin Drive Where elegance is twilight browsing gentle music soothes the soul our couple find themselves embracing as the snow-white horse-drawn carriage rolls twice around the circle slowly down the hotel boulevard the sky like daylight echoes thunder as love is sealed into their hearts In a place where sunsets melt into the ocean and the evening thunder air's electrified two young hearts begin a new commotion If you let them all your dreams can come alive when lightning strikes on Benjamin Franklin Drive ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------ I always wanted an edible canoe but you can't have your kayak and eat it too!

Graham, you have a way of weaving an atmosphere that one can almost taste on the tip of the tongue. Another excellent poem |

Ohhhhh.. myyyy.. could I please come with you??... The imagery you weave is of such... mmm... such.. things that dreams are made of... what a wonderful place that was to visit. Thank you for taking me there..! I love the way you write off the tip of your mind, sharply.. but softly.. How do you do that?? |

Was this from real life? Your wedding perhaps? It was wonderful! I saw the sunset melt into that ocean but never thought of it that way till now. Very good writing! |

Real life?? What's that? Sorry...I live in an imaginary world..haha. Seriously, the place exists..I was there on vaction a couple of months ago. I saw the romantic side of it and had to write. The horse drawn carriage is real too! The characters are from my other world though......sorry to disappoint! [This message has been edited by graham (edited 08-13-99).] |

Hi PS, Go to Sarasota, Florida, and head for Lido Key. Can't miss this place. Have fun, Graham. I always wanted an edible canoe |
