dancing 'neath the moon

0 posted 2006-08-11 11:14 AM



While puttering
in my flower bed
Clods of dirt
held in my hands

I saw on the street,
a silver flash
your foot to the floor
you went by fast,

The dirt clods
shattered on the lawn
and I realized
I missed you

In the store
moving down the aisle
there you were,
that walk, that smile

canned corn went
crashing to the floor
and like so many times before,
I missed you

Several times I have been tempted
To sit and write a letter
to let you know I've missed you

~but~

my aim is getting better.

Big grins here
Well done!

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

that he does, darlin,

Practice makes perfect ..
I used to be a sharpshooter, ya know

Sheli,

This is great. Aim isn't everything though...

Sy, happy to make you smile

Kristabell -- aim isn't everything?  I suppose this is true .. I could use grenades, then "almost" would be good enough *laughs*

This poem has so much "feel" to it....
A treat to read and savor...
