My Overalls Have Grown Old

I have this pair of overalls I bought in 1988…when to our cabin I first arrived
back then the overalls were new and I was 35.

When these overalls were young boy did they work hard
all around the cabin…in the driveway…in the yard.

They could work for hours with a sickle, hoe or rake…
work for an entire day

Man In Green Vs Green Snake

A man in green overall 
With  a  green walking stick 
Was near the green garden. 
A green bird on the tree saw 
A green snake in the green garden, 
And sung to warn the man 
about the danger. 

A man was clueless about 
the green snake which  was near him. 
The man in green overall

Blackberry

It's early yet for picking,
Only one black kiss 
At the end of pinky clusters, 
First fruit, 
Faceted like flies' eyes.

The biggest are up too high, 
In too far, where snakes live. 
Somebody could lose their balance,
Fall inside. 
Somebody could get trapped in brambles.

She used to go blackberrying. 
At five o'clock on summer mornings, 
She'd put

Overalls Redux

In college I wore overalls
And loved the way they felt
When hanging loose or even better,
Tightened with a belt.

The Army/Navy store was where
I bought them, very cheap.
They lasted many years until
They got too old to keep.

But that has now been rectified
For I have had the urge
To buckle on some overalls;
Today I made the splurge.

Much pricier than

Nature's Overalls Overall

In the West it seems frost and jingle bells
In the East its now the hot sunshiny spells
Yet the dells look fabulous
whether quilted in snow
or bright green carpets
Nature can be spicy hot or icing on cake.

Daddy's Overalls

My daddy was my loved hero
when I was a tiny sprite.
To walk along beside him, was
for me a great delight.
I loved the swish of  overalls
as he carried in the milk.
To me the sound was sweeter
than the soft rustle of silk.
I wondered  why my sock clad legs
would not make that unique sound.
But it really

Hair In Red Overalls

I 

I knew a time when my sister, tall and fair 
with her sage sense of humor, dull and non-existent 
Seemed positively, 
metallic, blessed with flowing shackles, a gift, extended only to me. 
Limiting my growth past 8 years, haunting my dreams until age 21 
always advising her younger sis, to teary boredom 
“Do as
