Evening Snapshots
Virginia Salter


Crisscross applesauce
on store front sidewalk
watching knees and feet go by

Cigarette smoke
corn dog scents
blowing in the wind

Touch of amber
sifting in
to gray marshmallow clouds

Country gospel
rockin’ ‘round
twixt rollin’ jazz

Farmer’s market
Pepsi wagon
puppies, kids, and ants

Lamp posts glow a
yellow-sun glimmer
as sun's dying rays burn a window ‘neath nimbus

and there’s music in the street. . .

"Willoughby...  next stop:  Willoughby."  Sounds like a place I'd like to visit.  Nicely portrayed, Virginia.

It happens every Friday night during the summer months in Pendleton, Oregon.  They call it "Friday Night Alive."  There's even dancing in the street while the musicians play, allbeit mostly little children stealing the show.
