If Given a Choice

If given a choice
Or had my own way
My current address
Is not where I’d stay
But rather I’d opt
For nautical terrain
And dwell along
The coast of Maine
No more meetings
Or phones or faxes
I’ll dig for clams
To pay the taxes.

My choice was to read your poetry and fond it enjoyable with high quality imagery and talent, high mood and enough good directions to meet a noble soul of poet.

Maine is beautiful, especially in spring and fall. I vacationed there with my family one year. A peaceful life living on a boat as your poem conveys. : )
