Guest Poet

 dirt road boy 


trying to live in a blacktop world 

amongst fancy named flowers 

he longs for the spring cherry blossoms 

missing butter cups and daisies fields

he searches his memory for happiness 

   a simpler timer 

   watching butterflies 

   and tadpoles ! 

   he’s first love 

he longs for those feelings 

   of the dirt between his toes 


old country boys have dreams —

   choke cherry jam on peanut butter bread

   hot blueberry sauce over ice cream 

these are the true loves of life
