Trickling down the sides of your face I could smell your gold-dust hair. It smelled the way blossoms look when they float in clean water carried by gentle current. You asked me so often "Are you serious?" I watched you tread water, I could still touch with my head above the waves. I should have held you. _____________________________________ Bad Habits. (series) P Thirty bits of glass had become my teeth, They were breaking each and every time I tried to speak. [This message has been edited by viking_metal (07-21-2009 10:12 PM).] |

Another great write. I love a poet that realizes the importance of a good ending. Free verse depends on it. Yoin Just reworked my old poetry page. Check it out before geocities takes it down. Yoin |

Heather... Thank you. I think I've won you as a follower. Careful now, or I'm going to start thinking I don't suck quite so much. Yoyo... Thank you sir. I'm glad you think I fit the bill of a guy that knows something about anything, because I'm pretty sure I don't. Heh... Thirty bits of glass had become my teeth, They were breaking each and every time I tried to speak. |

Shades of "should-of" and intensity that often comes with a backward look over the shoulder.... terrific impact, and I'm enjoying your talent! |

Paul, I was just looking at your little statement, "I love my dog, and my truck. It's that simple really." It made me smile. My granddaughter, who is 17, got a bright red pickup, and she immediately put a puffy purple sticker on the back window that reads: Silly BoyS! Trucks are for GIRLS! |
