No cost cutting ads did she need Or salespitch to buy two as one; Yesterday she’d crossed those aisles Already had reaped the onions, done. She only needed staples Milk, bread, OJ (for vitamin C) And Tylenol for her head. She had no use for coupons or their name of brand Through her years had tried them all, Still overpriced, she ran. She only needed staples A bottle of wine, lettuce greens, And bandaids for her upper hand. Movement slow in the checkout line as if paralyzed by the silent screams of soliciting romance tabloids and sexy magazines; With brush of her hair and jerk of her head, she averted sunglassed eyes. The cashier casually asked, “Would you like anything else?” “No,” she retorted, “I think I’ve had enough. Excuse me, I really need to run." away she carried staples [This message has been edited by Sadelite (05-25-2004 02:42 PM).] |

iliana, I don't know about brilliant writing... Disorganized is more the word tonight. I had this written within the hour after work, highlighted it, and accidently deleted it instead of pasting it! I tried to remember what I'd written and another hour had flown bye~Sadie! (It's bad enough to have the slow pace I have, but slow AND disorganized... Better day tomorrow! Thanks for the boost! Catch you later! |

Ratleader, some outward... Thanks your enthusiasm. It means a lot. Sadie Sunshine, Are you sure it's not poetic license and fiction???? Enjoyed and smiled at your comment. Thanks for your tease. Sadie Earth Angel, Enjoyed your play on my words, "snippets" (not necessarily of my life; I know of others...) Sadie Sy, I'm glad you enjoyed this. It's always good to hear from you.

Sadie, there's so much going on in this one, so much hidden in the words. I like this one. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Pilgrimage, I suppose you're right! Glad you waded through it, finding it enjoyable. I guess I'm a little impish, as I like to play hide and seek... Sadie passing shadows, glad you could relate; thanks, Sadie |

suthern, It was nice to have the company. Thank you for your generosity! I'm looking forward to having more time in about a week or two to catch up on your posts and that of others. I really miss not responding as much as I'd like. Thanks for your thoughtness in response. I appreciate it. Sadie Time Prophet, Thank you. By the way, I'm pleased to make your acquaintance. I'm looking forward to visiting your poetry. Thanks again for your comments. Sadie |
