traveled southeast today olive trees labyrinth walking toward peace of mind from yesterday words clam chowder alfresco merlot with a silky palate soothed my tongue left my heart in disarray reh and petra at next table eating alone reh asked ladies should never eat alone I speak from 78 years of wisdom ask petra 52 years we eat together listen will you be here tomorrow come come to mass hear me sing he raised his head cuando salí de Cuba, dejé mi vida dejé mi amor. cuando salí de Cuba, dejé enterrado mi corazón. when I left Cuba I left my life I left my love when I left Cuba I buried my heart people on the street stopped chatting walking oh reh petra scolded no one wants to hear you sing for once in 52 years petra was wrong |

Lady Kate ~ your poetry's first rate!!! You started this poem off with lines that grabbed my attention at the get-go! "traveled southeast today olive trees labyrinth walking toward peace of mind" Your words always have a calming effect on me. You write with an appealing and gentle voice. I could read your poetry into forevermore!  Loveya! LA |

Just last week, I was thinking of a couple I once knew and his stories... she'd try to hush him, thinking he was boring us... when we were delighted. *S* Some things should be heard... especially by those who haven't spent 50 years hearing them. *S* Thank you for sharing reh's song... what a beautiful write!! |

For twice she was right! Thank you for letting us hear it too. And for the beautiful images in which it was couched. The olive trees remind me of Greece, when I went there, oh so long ago. - Owl |

Hovering over conversations is much better than eavesdropping...especially when the smiles widen the circles and camaraderie. Well done, Kate. |
