Search my memory for things I’ve forgot, Good memories, or maybe they were not. Eh . . . all lost, though I search for that lost child, I shriek in horror as though I’d been defiled, I‘d never want to return there again. Although I know there had to be good men. Would that I could bring up things I’ve forgot, Something tells me it would all be for naught. Still . . . There is one name I cannot forget, She was quite older, I remain in her debt. That recall can’t die like showers in spring, What she taught me filled my heart and I sing. We met quite brazenly, and she brought beer, Why we didn’t get caught isn’t quite clear. I oft wonder if she regrets what was done, For she was my own Mrs. Robinson. ©June 14, 2015 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

"I‘d never want to return there again." ~glad to see you write this out, even in somber tinges as it were. Releasing *some pain (a lil at a time) seems much safer than all at once in some cases & I adore the way you flavored your dark moment with a sweeter (almost joy/sting) image of your Mrs. Robinson, as it correlates greatly in bitter-happy memories here. Excellent soul~search, Jerry.. huggz & be welz  ~T "..But a tyrant spell has bound me, |

No, Tanya, I never went back to that little Arkansas town. I have a sister-in-law and we talk from time to time. A lot of dark moments I lived through in my hometown. My Mrs. Robinson was not one of those dark moments. I remember and still smile at what we had for a short time. Thank you for you excellent comments . . . ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Oh, there are good people in the town I grew up in, but I never fit in, my mindset was not of their mindset. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |
