Between the Lines

On that Sunday it began for me, on a beautiful afternoon
Still dressed in Renaissance... the faire I left too soon
To catch the plane, to satellite and park my car on lot
Who would have thought when I returned, that space I had forgot...

Well back to the beginning of my flight which was delayed
Due to the hurricanes down south, an hour longer stayed
Then onto Tampa airport, from Baltimore I flew
Was greeted by the largest sign, balloons and three, I knew.

Marsha, Keth and Krissy were waiting there for me
And helped me with my heavy bags so full, each of the three
They packed me in the rental car and we proceeded home
But hours passed and Tampa signs kept showing where we roamed.

At least four times that I recall we Tampa'd, circled back
I landed at 9:30, by 1 a.m. came the attack
Anxiety getting nowhere, as Krissy tired so
Finally directions given, placed us in the know.

We stopped at NewPort's Denny's where the others were well known
They each filled on dessert, I had breakfast, hunger moaned
It now was almost 3 a.m. and bed I wished to find
We settled in and I unpacked, then into comfort climbed.

I was earlier than the rest, to get accustomed to
poets whom I'd never met, what a pleasure I was due....

more to come,   Marsha dear

IT WAS A HAPPENING, never to be forgotten by those of us who gathered in loving spirit~

Now didn't those gals plan such a marvelous time for us all ?

Little Mo darling one, how wonderful are the memories that come flooding back to me. Krissy has spent all this week saying remember Little Mo,s face when she arrived, or remember that boot checking man when we kept arriving back at Tampa. Personally I still have my suspicions about Keth and that man, I swear she had Krissy keep coming back because she was enamoured of him. Only joking Beloved One, I know it was Krissy who was keen

It’s a beautiful piece of writing darling heart and I love it, how I wish I were there still  
Love you always
and forever
Mushy


Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds
but I can face the future with courage brave and bold

Maureen,
the times we made within that place
helped those smiles upon my face
and I recall with fondest glee
the joy we took in losing thee

and yes the hour was very late
as we returned back to the gate
where the airport was soon found
IF WE'D HAD A MAP, we'd be homeward bound

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

It was such fun. By the time they came for me, they knew the way!

I have been off of this forum for a while and Maureen, I tell ya, it is great to come back to this. I feel maybe I have to know the entire situation, but your flow of words helps my life to flow a bit more smoothly. I am accually back to post poems I have written for my speech so they will be considered published. There is one in Dark Poetry 4 and I am posting one here. Look for them.
