you unbuckled my memory as I removed my Stacy Adams* and shoved them deep inside your closet, where I caught the scent of loose dresses and wandered into your smile and your welcoming façade ©December 11, 2015 / Jerry Pat Bolton *Back in tha day, Stacy Adams were the hip footwear, and they still are in my opinion. ~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~ |

"Facades" are supposed to 'dress up' an otherwise unattractive or 'structurally' bland area. Metaphorically, it makes me chuckle a bit at what may have been a unique experience for you JerryPat. I'm seeing you stuff your 'Stacys' deep into that closet quite clearly.  88's friend, and again, its great to have you back! She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |

Heh.Heh I wondered if anyone would snap to the Stacy Adams line Ticklefingers . . . I meant façade to represent a false front even though playing the game. Thank you for stopping by . . . ~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~ |

Such an intimately involving moment you painted here, Jerry. I love this. And the last two lines are powerful and tell so much. Margherita |

Margherita, I am always desirous of your thoughts concerning my poetry. Your way with words capture, for the most part, what I wish my poem would mean to its readers. Thank you. ~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~ |
