Evening Snapshots
Virginia Salter

Crisscross applesauce
on store front sidewalk
watching knees and feet go by

Cigarette smoke
corn dog scents
blowing in the wind

Touch of amber
sifting in
to gray marshmallow clouds

Country gospel
rockin’ ‘round
twixt rollin’ jazz

Farmer’s market
Pepsi wagon
puppies, kids, and ants

Lamp posts glow a
yellow-sun glimmer
as sun-dying rays burn a window ‘neath nimbus

and there’s music in the street. . .

marshmallow clouds..........I like that. You've a talent for imagery.

After years of searching, I have found I am nothing more, nothing less...I am in truth Just A Woman after all.

Virginia, I like this a lot. It has extremely vivid images, and feels good, too!

Makes me want to be there. Beautiful!

A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes.
