 daytime gives up the ghost in the late afternoon dusk I look forward to the night the night is my friend my thoughts turn darker still . . . not as bad as before my road weary days took a large part of my soul soon enough I realized the night made me feel righteous night people seem to be less critical they are aware of their own dark thoughts and has an understanding of others honesty is the thing here at night when two people meet up find a crib pass a little time both of them these night people knows there will be nothing but a night or two for them long range plans are never mentioned night people understand ©June 28, 2014 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ When politicians give up on liberty, it falls to poets to preserve it.

Thanks Baby Girl. Yeah, there is something about the camaraderie of night people that I found refreshing. Much less "pretense." ~*~ When politicians give up on liberty, it falls to poets to preserve it. Or write its epitaph. ~*~ |

Many thanks to you, Lori. Pretense is lying without verbally doing so. ~*~ When politicians give up on liberty, it falls to poets to preserve it. Or write its epitaph. ~*~ |

I know what the word means I just meant that People who don't (in my case) live like a TV commercial or page out of a magazine (hence the lack of pretense) to me seems more "realistic" or "honest" ,if you will, and I find that refreshing. Does that make better sense now? |

I understood you in the first comment, Lori. I never even thought you didn't know what pretense meant. Heh. Heh I've never been a follower either. ~*~ When politicians give up on liberty, it falls to poets to preserve it. Or write its epitaph. ~*~ |
