Erskine Place You might ask what is Erskine Place? To me it was just scenery along a distant train ride. To others it's a place to call home. A home where strangers travel past many times a day. A home where the sound of a train is as familiar as cars driving down the road. What is Erskine Place? A street sign that caught my eye. |

This is excellent, Dreamer! I get that feeling when looking at maps....a small dot to me and home to millions to others. Or a house, nondescript to me, but so special to the family. Gee, I could think for hours about what you so aptly pointed out with this excellent piece. |

Dreamer, There are a lot of things we miss because we are not paying attention. Too bad that is our loss.  You saw it  I missed it!------------------ Yesterday is history, tomorrow just a mystery. And if today is good to me, it will beat the heck out of day before yesterday! |

Lost Dreamer -How I liked this one. Reminded me of a place I used to avoid ... it was called PRIVATE ROAD ... I thought it was the private entrance to someone's home. The more I passed it ... the more drawn to it I was. One day I ventured down it ... turns out it was a memorial place nestled among the stately oaks ... a gentleman had constructed it to be a private writing/thinking place for people to find a quiet moment to reflect. Once you got there it was plain to see the message he had inscribed on a plaque ... 'What took you so long? Now think your PRIVATE thoughts.' I now travel 60 miles to return to it every now and again. ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

everything i've read by you lately tells me you've been working on developing a more succinct writing style! nice work, LD. reminded me of a sign that might say, "if you lived on erskine place, you'd be home now" |

Those impressions that we garner along the journey of life are just as essential as all the 'big' things we take notice of - you captured that very effectively. K |

Thank you all so very much, I never expected such praise from this poem that I wrote as I was riding on the train trying to pass time. I'm glad you all enjoyed it, and thanks again your all wonderful. |

I love this. I live down the road from Erskine College in South Carolina. The title caught my eye! |
