He could be anywhere stroking his beard drinking his Red Zinger oh I know I promised to follow him but things came up as things always do I got a postcard from Denver sold the Harley bought two bikes can’t wait for you to arrive then a card from Vermont it’s bone crushing down and dirty cold here need you to keep me warm and a card from Sisters, Oregon when you get here I will feed you Indian plums and boiled crab you will never leave I still think about joining him at times I wonder if he ever thinks about waiting for me |

Hey Lady! I am a little late for welcoming you, but please forgive me and let me hang out a while. I loved this poem. It's earthy and real, and oh-so-familiar. I feel like I know this guy. Much enjoyed. |

hehe, I think I've seen him, with Red Zinger dripping from that beard flying down the open highway... he will never park it |

The things we think of doing that have a way of never quite happening.... This has a sense of wistfulness and adventure about it that I really like. Of course, it stirs the emotions, too, with a sense of the little things one knows about someone close to their heart, things that become more vivid simply because they are out of sight and missed. I like this very much! |

I met him once on the way to Sturgis. He grinned the whole way and only stopped once...to pick a bug out of his teeth. lol Wonderful write! Wonderful read! |

Ah Klassy Lassy you read me so well. I loved your response Uriah! That was him all right! Skyfire, if you see him tell him I’m sorry. Just couldn’t do it. Thank you Paul, M and poetry_queen |

he sounds like a man of adventure; I hope he doesn't waste a lifetime adventuring elsewhere when peace may be right at his doorstep! Enjoyed your writing, Lady. Sadie |

Lovely, Kate. As Klassy Lady said, wistful. Whether he is real or fiction, itt is probably best that you didn't join him and probably best that you did wonder about it. - Owl |
