sitting on the porch smelling the flowers growing nearby I'm with Zoe and a glass of cheap California burgundy moon beaming down at me I raise my glass and toast the moon Zoe growls, ears alert moon's reflection bounces off the wine glass bright moon casting my shadow its so light its glass raised as if toasting me back cheers old shadow, I say the moon, my shadow, Zoe and myself with three for company I'm doing alright good company too, if I dance my shadow follows my lead sometimes I sing old songs and the moon accompanies me I like my company but if I happen to drink too much we all part ways except for Zoe she never leaves my side someday it is my wish that all four of us will meet for a reunion up there deep, deep inside that old Milky Way ©August 14, 2016 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Nice, quiet writing Jerry. All things considered within it, I'd say there was more value to the 'kiss of California' than you give credit. Here's to you, Zoe, your shadow...and the moon. (***clink***) Keep dancin'. Loving Linny Jean is poetry. |

Ari, oh I am well aware of the value of the 'kiss of California'. Quite honestly that California kiss is part of my being. It gives me insight on many things, it takes my hand and explores things with me no book ever could. Thank you so very much for your wonderful comment. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |
