Smudge Pots They look like stumps, Such that From the vantage point of plump RVs, Tourists comment, "They ought to dig those up!" We saw them differently. Remember? I brought blankets. You brought books. Even then you needed words for warmth. All night you ravished me with poems As I sat staring at the smoke Creeping up the valley, Putting out the stars And covering the blossoms Against the approach Of war. RMW |

Fantastically woven, Bob. There were still orchards near hear with smudge pots until a short time ago. I rather miss seeing them as I passed. Never had the romanticism of sitting by them with a significant other, though. That really brings out the nostalgic feeling of loss. Lovely memory, edged with the painful memory of impending war. Amazingly written. You are such a master. |
