I reach for greatness with hands of mediocrity feet planted in failure while this transient wind flickers now my erstwhile soul. Tumbleweed, forever. And on that middling day when I cry out ENOUGH mayhaps someone in passing might remark unto my families my State and state of being. How I was. What I did. Where I lived. (Reckon ah can stay mebbe coupa days? Then ah gots to be movin on.) And if so compassionately moved by guilty complex mind and out of duty to Ma Apple Pie The American Way they can burn me or bury me or dipped in rubber showcase me. I care not, save one detail, a modest plaque: Middle Child, Alicat |

Dipped in rubber??? LOL. So you can bounce back again like a tumbleweed bouncing along the highway in the western badlands? I enjoyed reading this unique poem. |

Always a pot on up here, if you ever make your way back.  Tumbleweed, indeed - but one of my favorites! hehe Good write kitty, but I'd expect nothing less from you. |

This is so cute. Though I'm sure when the time comes, they'll have more to say on the plaque than that. lol If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Seymour (reminds me of where my mom was born in Texas *smile*), WindWalker, Midnitesun, Startime, Lady in White, and Tracey. Thank you for taking the time to read my poem. Even one reply is enough to make me smile.  Snikkidoodle, when I pass that way again, I'll be sure to look you up. Oregon is such a beautiful state, and one that I miss greatly. Hmmm....if I consider Oregon my 'state of mind', reckon I could get a tax break? LOL DP (my fav soda), I might just take you up on that when I head to Maine in the spring. Time will tell, and thanks for reading me. Alicat |
