Premium Member You Cannot Get There From Here
I thought I had a road map in the car trunk with the spare. I thought we had a compass and I really thought you cared. So sure of our direction that I didn't check the fuel. And so, our love has stalled now, and I look just like a fool. I thought we had provisions that would last...

Scotland
I couldn't give a toss for the caber cromach bagpipes sporran or kilt (a fling's the thing) and you can stick your dirk in your haggis up to its bog-wood hilt yet I'd like to hike through the heather on happy Sassenach holidays see the scenery admire the view along Scottish hilly highways and byways to pick a pink-purple thistle or two and should I...

Premium Member Valleys and Peaks
We've traveled many roads, some steep and long, kept steadfast on our walk, forever so strong. Through our ups and downs, we traveled this road, for all those times we carried life’s heavy load. Valleys and peaks may have always been there, with courage we walked, not always with despair. Below those peaks, shines a...

Premium Member Changing Trains
I used to ride the train from school to home and back, every other weekend, in an old Pullman car built in the nineteen-thirties. It smelled like my grandma’s house— a little musty, like time had curled up and fallen asleep in the cushions. Too warm, always, but the clickety-clack over tie bars and rail frogs lulled me to sleep, rocking me gently as if the...

Premium Member Sweet Sorrow
Bonnie Brown was in love with Charles, like black pearl clings to night, So young and engaged to be married, like myriad stars, shining white. They were active professionals, dwelling in a charming, bustling town; As warbling charms orange noon, after pink mist clears, with no sound. They had dreams of future and a family, like purple nights of...

Premium Member Is Something Calling Again
Is something calling again From the distant hills outbound? Is it a small voice within Or something hidden without? What awaits you down the road Once you cross the valley bridge? Should you find it and take hold Will it satiate a wish? Will you bring just a trace home ...

2024 May first
Wed, 2024.05.01 By May, three months went passed, We enjoyed three day trips to the nature. We respected and polite to each other. Somehow I started having feelings for you. I knew from the beginning, Our relationship could not go beyond than this. But my brain could not control my heart, So it started to contemplate some ideas, By not using the facilities at...

LOVE ROADS
Love roads are all around, we can pick the best road. Sometimes we travel on a road of love, we find it nice and sunny and smooth. Sometimes we pick a road that looks unsure, not easy to see the end. Sometimes we are on a road that feels and looks good but turns out...

Gathering of Poets
The first Wednesday of the month we sit around the table and share poems written with care and revised. We take in their shapes and forms and read between the lines. We gasp with wonder about creations and search for other words to make each verse stronger. Each of us has written volumes by now the lives we shared month-by-month. A retired lawyer has returned from...
