Classifieds

In the quiet still
in the sable night

dreamy dotted with
punctuates of light

I recall
my youthful days:

no balcony too steep
nor high – those I could
not climb, then~ simply I 
would fly

Wanted: old Juliet, with
sympathetic elevator --

Ha, ha, ha. Hey, I'll settle for a sympathetic Juliet with a wheezy, but functional elevator. ~ O. Dis & Sons

What a fun "Classifieds" write. A guy showed me a 3 stair walk up for my first apt. I took a first floor. Young then and No steps, Please. Thanks for the laugh/smile. Have a lovely day/weekend writing away..................

Enjoyed this fun write! Made me smile, Joe! Beautiful opener, poignant closer…those stairs become treachorous…and dear Juliet, who loves you so, would want you to take the elevator.
