Poetry Is

Poetry is watching the sail boats go drifting by 
on Port Gardiner's Bay.
Poetry is the happy laughter of children playing
at Forrest Park
Poetry is free out door music concerts
at the Everett's Marina.
Poetry is watching free outdoor summer's
movies at Box car park 
after dark.

Poetry is watching people walking family pets
at the Everett's Marina.
Poetry is watching harbor seals,
and the ducks. Not to mention,
our friendly neighborhood seagulls.

Poetry is the Schack's artistic Colby's Avenue's
walk.  Seeing and watching
the local artisans at their trade.

Poetry is downtown Colby Avenue's antique 
car show and display.  Hearing local
Elvis Presley's imitator dancing
and singing our blues away.     

Poetry is the Everett's Farmer's Markets.
Local singers perform, and the food vendors
are there. People are working at and
displaying their wears.  On Colby Avenue and
adjacent streets.

Poetry is watching the 4th of July parade,
and fire works display at Legion's Park
after dark.

Poetry is the Forrest's park animal farm,
animals and chickens, pigs and goats
and horses too.  Don't forget the
rabbits and other live stock too!

Love as always,
