Straw blonde waifs,
feet of concrete
straining over
steele barricades as
they sway in sunlight,
beautiful dancers,
roadside crowdpleasers,
hearts on sleeves,
withering into car fumes
between the mileposts,
with their pipedreams
of applause

I like the feel of this...like a long ride
on a highway to who knows where...

Pipedreams? I think we all have those. I
know I have from time to time.

May love and light always shine upon you!

Michele?

I saw tall sunflowers
standing high
yet unseen
quietly dying

*smile*
you do make me see . . .
this one ached
within your beautiful writing

Beauty is its own reason for being, and that is enough. For a short time it brings joy, and that is sufficient, I think.

Your poem brings it to life.
