“12TH STREET & VINE” by Bill Charles ~~~~ The other night I went for a walk in the summer’s night, and ended up at the corner of 12th Street & Vine… I remember distinctively when we were shadows entwined in the moonlight, dancing to that slow beat of the blues we both love, hips moving together, lips touching, and those passionate whispered words… Silhouettes danced on the walls of the apartment that night, and there was something about your eyes when I gazed into them, enchanting they were in the dim light, almost magical, as they drew me closer to you… I stayed until early morning knowing you, and now I’m glad I did, for that was the beginning… M’mmmmm yes, I do remember the the night we spent together for the first time, near the corner of 12th Street & Vine… ~~~~ |

Well, Bill, this poem manages to encapsulate the air of romance. Thanks. It's amazing I won. I was running against peace, prosperity, & incumbency. |
