Would you believe me
if I said I’d never been
in any hills,
up any mountains,
or down in any valleys

just so you’d go there with me
and green—

now fallen,
but the ever
now burning
lonesome
in-scent

Might feel a bayou away
from deep—

now winterin’,
but the sand
now castlin’
some where
in-season

if my tongue
danced around
a fire
without any
accent

you'd sense me

a liar

Reg,
"if my tongue
danced around
a fire
without any
accent"

If you did that I'd have to believe you!

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

I'd believe anything you asked me to.  Especially if you wrote it as pretty as this one.

Somewhere, sometime,
I must have said,
let me write like her...

and I know for sure I've said

Welcome home!

So here's to both.  Clink!

LeeJ: Yes, you are. Thank you for you.  

Larry: That's right, hon. Trust me. Haha huggins.

Startime55: Thank you, deeply for the visit and for feeling that way. Big Hugs Back!

Interlover: Ah ha! Your second stanza consists of "either," which if you were a true hick, "neither" would be the selection for a double negative. Thus, I find you intelligent and mostly correct on your grammer. uh grammar. Lovin's!

Nan: Aww, thank you for your sweetest reply. Big holiday huggins.

Sunnyone: Your welcome is as fresh and warm as holiday bread. You are poetry, my poetessa. Nevah forget that, no matter where I roam or if I foam at the mouth..haha. Your pen is mighty. Big lovin's.

Christopher: Hey there, hi there, go there? Okay, hon. Be there with my boots on. Thank you so much and great to see you. Warm hugs.

peace and poetry,
Reg
