Patty Lives In Bloominghton, Indiana

I'm writing this long letter to a mysterious stranger, I'm staring at her beautiful picture with some tingling sense of rapture! Patty lives in Bloomington, Indiana; it's such a lovely town, not like Elmira where homeless people roam and sleep on sidewalks and apartments are cheap! We've never met and exchanged glances, I can imagine when that actually happens; our warm hands won't keep from touching, our joy can surely be expressed in feeling! Patty lives in Bloomington, Indiana it's hundreds of miles away and Diana can't wait to move there with Danny, they both adore their new-born baby! I'm a city rambler and I'm used to people's jeers, and moving fast I tread on the wide city streets; silence drives me nuts, noises is what I crave: it's good for the solitary guy hiding in the cave! Patty lives in Bloominghton, Indiana; all I have is this photo and a single wish that she might write back and not swish this silly dream whenever I lie to Sara!

Good one Andrew. I have been to Bloomington-nice place. When you speak of Elmira-do you mean Elmira, NY? My wife and I live about 20 minutes from there. I hope you get your wish.

Hello, Oliver. How are you and how's your family? I wrote this poem over forty years ago. patty was my sister's friend. We kept on touch for a while, but we lost contact. I thank you for your comment. Keep on writing and find your voice like I have. Best wishes and a Happy Wednesday.
