Time Slip

While walking to my destination.. Headed west as usual.. Continued walking.. quickly turned at a nearby street.. Headed home.. No longer were my familiar surroundings.. Familiar.. Where is my home? Did it simply vanish? Nearby was a massive cherry blossom tree.. Sweet fragrance of cherry blossom tree explodes.. Streets that were once made of concrete.. Were now made of cobblestones.. Walking and glancing.. Feeling completely stunned In shock I am In disbelief I am.. Hypnotized I am.. By its absolute splendor.. Horses and buggy's.. Men, women, and children.. Dressed accordingly and appropriately Women wearing stunning, full skirted dresses.. Flowing freely as they walk.. Accessorized with shawls. Bonnets.. Gloves.. Men wearing tailor suits and trousers Tall black top hats Placed on their heads.. Warm smiles among.. Men, women, and children.. Along with laughter.. Children playing and skipping along.. The age of innocence It is.. No smog exists.. No pollution exists.. Honeysuckle.. Invigorates my entire senses I am completely absorbed in this moment in time I am lost in a time warp.. Time indeed is warped.. I have slipped away.. A time slip it is.. Where time and space is of no significance.. Slipping away to the past.. With my present self.. Feeling, experiencing, feeding, my entire senses.. Of a different time A different era.. Captivated I shall always remain.. In this precise moment in time.. Where modern meets victorian era.. In a time slip.. Where time and space blends perfectly.. All while walking home..

Better read Dear Madam President by Jennifer Palmieri. Really tells the story about women's existence in our society. Needs a follow up with Mademoiselle for Future President. There is a female member of the millennials who will be our future President.

Captivating time warp/time slip device...I kept waiting for you to wake up from a dream, til I reflected that dreams are usually dark, so unlike this 'Parade thru Yesteryear.' Really, really like this one, Robertina. There should be some sort of contest for such an elegant poem, something like "Visions of the Past." What say you?! Lovely, lovely, write. :) gw P.S. By the way, please check your soupmail inbox. Thanks!
