A Covered Bridge Ahead designed inside the mind of man to live in longer stead as voices speak from strong old truss “a covered bridge ahead” a roof to keep out wet and cold walls to ward west wind one lane stop of courtesy there to home again toughened timber, strong sinew echoes’ memories tread steal a kiss while underneath a covered bridge ahead so many standing still, so strong what stories they could tell of animal and then machine and rivers rain will swell marvelous enclosure looming large and red trim the lantern lights, sit tight a covered bridge ahead 8/23/17

I agree w/Victor and Frederic, a lyrical flow to this wonderful poem, Janis. I'm an urban dude w/a pastoral soul. I can really relate to this fine poem. Lovely poem and pic. Love and joy always.
