Zanzibar Lane The longest dirt road Pot holes throw my car about Behind me, dust pillows in the crisp air An emerald ocean creased wrinkles of sun light I hear birds harmonize in the wind Everything is changed now Even me. Juju -Juju |

. This almost reads like a translation . . . Are we exploring another way? As always, you know I love your poems John . |

John, I am attempting to incorporate more nature in my poems, and less me. As for the translation part, there was a old dirt road I grew up near called Zanzibar lane. This poem actually has taken me 2-3 years to write (I don't know why normally takes me a day), so maybe that is what you see is my internal struggle to say what I feel. Juju -Juju |

Good for you, and hopefully the air will stay crisp, the ocean emerald and the sunlight bright and lovely. It's your world, go for it. ~ I went to a restaurant that serves "breakfast at any time" / I ordered French Toast during the Renaissance ~ |

An exquisite metaphor, Juju. A perfect gem - a cameo - a masterpiece - worthy of taking 2-3 years to write. I bathed in its beauty - the nature part and the you part and the seamless blending of the two. Owl |

Very captivating, as it transports the reader into its "live" event to become fully part of it. M |
