Return to Little Street
~~~
Traditions lead to streets of dream
to scant abodes
beneath the green
So tiny
small
'neath gardens tall
with russet
stacked
above them all
Their chimneys waft
of fire's stoke
the meek step forth
though bashful folk
The pitter pat
of little feet
arise
the length
of Little Street
~
They take my hand as pipers chant
descend the street
with river's dance
Around about
the dancers croon
to every home
I'm blessed ...
buffoon
~
Tranquil glade amongst the heather
sparks ignite
the moods in feather
Flames leap forth
as caldrons
coddle
tubers roast
as whispers twaddle
Pipes
I fill
and pints
I swallow
Tip 'em Back
their chant
seems hollow
~
Breaking bread
their stew
yumm - titious
though
in my head
their brew
grows vicious
~
Little Street
a fading glow
still ...
I was little once you know
The shutters
close
the visions
wane
the magic
slips
to walking cane

another day

another plane

the child inside

asleep

again
~~~

If you continue
to think
what you have always thought
you will continue
to get
what you have always got!

This is charming! I guess we all have a "Little Street" somewhere in our memory.
