Just another night of bliss we played church of rock-n-roll in the Opal-- a four door-- minus one. Just because the driver loved himself you know that he could not afford a hair spent out of place-- afterall? Life is short. He hit the curb but licked his curl while steering that car with his knees. He did not miss a beat. We sipped before the beer could froth the freezing ember of our yearn. Yet we leapt absurd in dance-- scrape of knowledge-- a romance of loving with a handle gone. I guess you'll have to exit "right." But hey? Yanno? His hair looked great. "Emerald City" was ahead in the days of just one bridge going in the search of hope where even dopeheads over-dressed-- (sometimes in chiffon...) Can't remember where we parked can't remember where we went-- our feet knew the cracks to walk we found ourselves at Guys & Dolls-- wondering which door was this? "Gentlemen" or "Not at All". French doors in the French Quarter should be approached cautiously-- I saw my friend open the door and slam it shut-- he saw g-string on the friend who caught the bus with him at the end of block. Then he opened door again. He thought he saw a Ben Franklin grinning from the groin. Then he had to wipe his eyes. He said, "My friend? Say my eyes lie. Tell me that I do not see Scott--there dancing in g-string." Donald said, "C'mon. Gitout" Donald thought this couldn't be. He opened door so he could see, and tried to wipe the sight without. But he took his glasses off and wiped them on his shirt. "Damn" he said, "I don't believe-- I wish the man had worn a skirt!" Scott had played football with them. They always said he had such grace. A wide receiver, till the end. And? He had a pretty face. * * * A French Quarter Memory [This message has been edited by serenity blaze (12-20-2002 07:27 AM).] |

Karen, I always know when I see your poems posted that I going to enjoy reading it. This one was no exception. I did enjoy it. It felt like I was walking down the streets of New Orleans.  "Love makes the world go around" |

smiling...I thank you all much, and if you can stand it? There is still another story behind this story. My poetry hating husband woke this morning to find me sitting here, and shook his head, and said, "What do you get out of this?" I told him it made me happy--it was like hanging out with friends and shooting the sh-breeze....and then I had an idea. "Pull up that chair and tell me one of YOUR stories." and he did. This poem was the result. So...shrug...it prob'ly won't stick, but for half an hour? I made him understand. ?Thanks forum, for ALWAYS understanding. |

 (smiles) Oh Karen, this is so wonderful, sweet friend, I love it!!! I felt as though I was just walking through Dixieland and the French Quarter and envisioning you and the football player and the times you shared, this is wonderful! (kiss on cheek) I love it, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karen, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
