I know of a spot where time has forgot, Boulevards are airy, taken with Chablis, Lawns like meadows, spongy like dough, The sun burns mushrooms into candy plums, Gives way to the moon, tonight so maroon, A gentle wind puffs, and thinks its hot stuff This place that I know, everyone's called Joe, Streets are full of gin and we are all twins, Its a magic place, where clocks have no face, Here everything's free; just ask the fir tree, Where there are no fights, for everyone's right, I can have winter, you can have summer. We have no homes, we have whispering domes, Everywhere we go, Angels are our beaux's, They are serene and their names are Jean, And we play hopscotch as the pixie's watch, A cheerful place, full of charm and grace, We're not Camelot, gone with a head shot. ©January 29, 2015 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Quite a trip this poetry of yours. There was however, a familiar sound in your last line. I was ditching school to work as a pin-boy in a Chicago alley when I heard it. It was the next day I was snatched by the truant officer. Those were strange days and the mellow moments in your poem brought some of them back. By the way, what were you doing way back here (page 7) without any hits? Big 88's for another great read friend. She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |

Oh, my goodness, Ticklefingers, thank you for your wonderful comments. Yes,that last line, to me it "was" the poem. What was I doing way back then without any hits? Good question, for which I have no answer. For some reason this poem just didn't "take." Again, thank you, my new friend. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |
