I enjoy this poet and hope they
are happy I chose them to imitate in RS's challenge.
I hope they see the fun in it and is flattered
at the same time.
Can you guess who it is?

She sleepwalks in her gossamer gown,
while daydreaming of her once paramour.
He sailed away
never to be seen again beneath
the stretch of the skys raceway.
They met under the mulberry tree,
a sweet blackberry rendezvous.
In the shadows, she lingers
wishing for those days of tic tac toe freckles
and pigtails and
blueberry muffins and butterfly kisses.

She didnt have a chance
to say good bye
because her tears would have
flowed like the Mississippi river
flowing into the backyard of another day.

She sleepwalks in the skeleton shadows of the night
while in the sheerness and mist and the rainbow of the fog.
Stepping through the Spanish moss;
tripping over the garden snakes and the frogs yet to be a prince;
and she remembers his little scar from here to China
upon his chin and his
cigarette hanging from
his thin lips,down to the
crocodile on his brass buckle.

and the love they once shared
walking along the path where
the goldfish pond
used to be; where they used
to skinny dip with their clothes on.

She awakened from her dream;
still wearing her orange high heels,
and does not remember the night before
but the
scent of a blackberry breeze,
lingers near the back door
of the 57 Chevy.

i'm sure they will love to be admired in such a way as a poet that is portrayed should always feel complimented, i'll let afew guesses flow first before i decide who this is but I feel I have an idea in mind.

It is a wonderful piece of writing.

Your instincts are probably right RS and Margherita...Tomer is the Poet.
