in those vintage years

when feathers wrote
we stole kisses under trees

behind a parasol
or imported fans
I drew chalk sketches of you

in dappled sunlight
we read Whitman in his novelty
we ate apples unpared
free... we were free

still, chained in one way
bound by society
propriety
... merely words. we knew then
what we cannot seem to know now

someday when pens etch themselves
onto paper poets think toward
we can pause and remember when we struggled
then laugh about the work
have more tea, sighing,
and hold each other tightly

Portia, this is so expressive of another time. The time I always feel the most connection to. Great poem, and perfect vision.

~Portia,...I could hear you speak these words.  I truly admire the way that you write. It's different and seems like it should be read aloud. I have told you this before,..but each poem of your's just reads so well...they just flow smoothly and have a certain ring to them. Be well Portia. *Peace.

Brought forth visions of times past...when things were slower and life could be savored.  Very nice, Portia.  Hardrock

Portia,
It has reached the point where I have run out of phrases of awe to utter on having read your poems.  
I can just picture this from the beginning to the end. You have such a multifaceted talent, and such a diverse range of subjects.
Truly impressive!
Always!

This poem is so lovely and serene! I wish I lived inside this poem, I like it so much!
