I listen to the sound of the breaking waves
Smell the salt tang in the air
I watch the graceful seagulls
Ride the thermals way up there
No sound of human voice
No strident car alarms
I sit in natures solitude
Enraptured by her charms
The sea reflects the sinking sun
In hues of red and gold
I'll never tire of such sights
Though I grow very and old
The first gleam of the evening star appears
In the ever growing dark
And the golden crescent of the moon
Begins her journey through the night
No words of mine can best describe natures perfect charm
This is peace, a perfect peace
Tranquility and calm
HIGH TOP SHOES...

Back in my day, children wore high top shoes.
Girls white, boys brown.
Because they gave you ankle support.
MOM SAID....

What would mom say now?
High tops are back.
But not for kids
there can't be any ankle support
For they have 7" heels
Some with a zipper up the back
And cut out pointed toes
With silver sparkles
WHAT?
What a difference 70 years makes
Now we should be back into high tops
Girls white, boys brown
Because they give you ankle support...
GRANDMA SAID....

By judy
I just found a picture of me in high tops as a little girl.  That brought  on a poem....

(thank you le comps)
At night,
I count my blessings with each rise and fall of your chest,
The freckles that form a constellation on your back are a mere
whisper
of the universe you hold in your eyes.
Heavens a Hotel Room
on a state highway.
white lines and tired eyes
through rained thrashed glass.
you, me and neon,
all I want is to burn my
throat with cheap bourbon,
my soul’s been burnt by you.

Heavens a Hotel Room
on a state highway
you, my pen and diary
may as well be a loaded gun.  
out there we’ll find Heaven
in the thicket of obscurity.
we’ll swill and take off all we have
and get lost in each other’s impurity.

Heavens a Hotel Room
on a state highway,
***** basin, no toilet brush and a
shower curtain on just one rung.
come with me and we’ll
never come back,
we’re going, not up in the clouds,
to a hotel room
on a state highway,
and if we pass by Hell
we’ll stop there too.
