The point of wit The dust kicks up around my shoes, In tempo with my walking blues. I saunter down a lonesome road. Where wagon tracks dug deep their load. The sky is mottled grey on grey, The wind that blows have naught to say. The crows that glean are lean and mean. The fields are bare and nothing green. I feel a load upon my back, The weary feels just like a pack. And with my mind in ennui. My body feels in full agree. No latitude my attitude. I know it is an ugly mood. I know damn well she's gone a year And she is there and I am here. The picket fence on which I sit, Are driving points into my wit. |

Another great one from you Seymour. How well you describe the pinch of sadness in your heart...

"The dust kicks up around my shoes, In tempo with my walking blues. I saunter down a lonesome road. Where wagon tracks dug deep their load. The sky is mottled grey on grey, The wind that blows have naught to say. The crows that glean are lean and mean. The fields are bare and nothing green." Although we are not in the same state... this piece for Kansans permeates... and for the picket fence on which you sit, would do you well to get off, you silly twit! [Couldn't help it...again, well done, Dear Sy!] |

This describes that lonesome road so well...I have experienced a similar experience and I finally got tired of all that dust...now I am trying to get onto that other path...I start out with the thoughts in my imagination...remember that song zip a de do da zip a dee day...my..my..my what a wonderful day...plenty of sunshine coming my way..zip a dee do da...zip a dee day...I feel better and my friends enjoy being around me more.

To be honest, I'm not sure I get the message here... but I do like the way it flows. =) Very nicely written. "Don't let your character get camoflaged with your environment. Find who you are and let it stay in its true colors." --Rachel Joy Scott |
