Still postcards (RP for Karen and New Orleans) |

Misty morning New Orleans. Sidewalk, ramble worn smooth, cracked through bloodshot eyes, stoned puddles, streetlights sketch black and white rainbows through the fog. Steps into blocks, turn till I am finally home, too chilled for October. What is this? A fire already seduces from hearth, ‘Come rest, come warm’. How can that be, has someone visited? No, see… only figments warm echo of imagination still hang from the night. Was it just then, I held her? Misty mornings still postcards, signed with love. |

"Misty mornings still postcards, signed with love." ~ A aptly succinct closing to a very fine write. Linda |

nice poem. I speak insanity. I write fantasy. I sleep reality. |

Yes, I remember those postcards of New Orleans…the mist, in the dawn…so beautiful, so serene, so majestic. It truly is my favourite city in the US and I mourn for what it’s going through now. I pray that it’s beauty will remain after this is over, but most of all I pray for those who have lost so much there. Hopefully Dunc, that postcard won’t be your last look at New Orleans as she was. And thank God Serenity and all are safe and well. You can never win or lose |
