Worded Yellow-Brick Road ~*Marge Tindal*~ Where are all the worded yesterdays of the backroads of my mind ? Gathering new rust in the garages of time~ ~*~ Calendar pages flipping backwards bringing recall into rewind Where are the worded yesterdays of another place and time ? ~*~ Yesterday's poetic pages of fragmented time flutter 'round the wind-of-mill falling across the shadowed shoulders of time now standing still~ ~*~ Time standing still in the meadow wearing the rust of Tin-Man's regret Where is the worded yellow-brick road that hasn't beckoned me yet ? *If memory serves me well, and it usually does, this one was inspired by DG after a visit to Vicky's Poetry Place* Photo courtesy of Vicky ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Marge/sis...I can't imagine your words ever rusting...although the photo of Vicky's makes rust look enchanting. |

Rusty words are the most powerful of all... they carry in memory wisdom yet told. Skipping down the yellow brick road the dust from the rusty words impregnate my soul. Great write! love and peace, Maggie ((~.~)) |

"Calendar pages flipping backwards bringing recall into rewind Where are the worded yesterdays of another place and time ?" Indeed...I think we've all felt this at one time or another...this touches. A lovely write, Marge. Hugs, ~Vicky P.S. Just to let all of you know...I can't take credit for the photo that Marge found on my website. I found it on one of the 'free photos' sites on the web, and shared it as a 'challenge' photo on my own site. I am very glad that Marge found it, and DG's poem, inspiring.
