That Heavy Feeling

. My the heavy feeling of that screech And her slam ‘pon me collectively as in her best friend too came suddenly Their press was to say the least stirring as myself now prone will attest The conductor of that train disconcertingly slammed on those brakes

I would say you were lucky to have such a press and they were happy to have such an amazing landing place! Sounds like fun James.

Thanks for your comments, James. Now don't forget to send seafaress8 your home address. At the post office the other day there was a long line. A darling little boy named Noah and a man who looked like Santa kept everyone entertained. I thought of your Noah, of course, and what a joy it must be to spend the holidays with him. Love, Carolyn

Very thought-provoking poem, James. Hearing disparaging words from a friend certainly can feel like a train wreck. I hope you'll email me your address so I can send you a Christmas card. Love you, Carolyn
