I feel a longing for simpler times
a need to harvest autumnal pumpkin
to sit with you on the old front porch
and just be a country bumpkin

Take this computer and lock it up
Hide the television too
put on a pot of Maxwell House
and let me talk to you

I watch your smile bloom as we chat
and the furrows leave your troubled brow
your laughter rings in twilight haze
could we savor forever, this now?

The day seems to move much slower
but soon it’s time for me to go
Sadly, I take your hand in mine
pull you closer in evening’s glow

I’ve loved this time with you my friend
simple pleasures are rare for me
To hold your hand, share a cup
and talk of our poetry

You offer a hug and squeeze goodbye
but I stole a kiss from your mouth
Then with a sad backward glance
I drive off heading south

sounds wonderful, but can we have Seattles Best instead of Maxwell House?

lovely thoughts from a lovely soul
thanks

This was a post of memories and a yearning for a simpler time.... I think that we all would do well to take a breath of fresh air now and again....
and this poem was one of those well needed breaths. Lovely. Thanks for refreshing my memory.

PdV,
Hey...I shut down my TV already. But leave my computer the heck alone. LOL I could give it up for a talk though. Got Decaf?

Nice, really nice.

It's never too late to have a good childhood! Woohoo!

Just a bit of homesickness for Michigan. I get it once in awhile. Thanks for reading!

Thank you for sharing the closeness of your moment. I loved the easy way of your words. Life is not all that complicated (if and when we learn to walk away from our computers)

I really enjoyed reading this simple pleasure of yours.

This was very well rhymed with an excellent rhythm too, but the telling of the poem's subject was even better...

"Take this computer and lock it up
Hide the television too
put on a pot of Maxwell House
and let me talk to you"

- cool!
