Blinding the north as it went by,
To burning to quick to hold,
To loving to be bought or sold,
Good only to make wishes on
And then forever to be gone.]]> 2019-03-21 14:03:50 UTC https://padlet.com/lspencescott/xbdiejlvpy34/wish/343793744 https://padlet.com/lspencescott/xbdiejlvpy34/wish/343793753 -Richard Edwards
Loving words clutch crimson roses,
Rude words sniff and pick their noses,
Sly words come dressed as foxes,
Short words stand on cardboard boxes,
Common words tell jokes and gabble,
Complicated words play Scrabble,
Swear words stamp around and shout,
Hard words stare each other out,
Foreign words look lost and shrug,
Careless words trip on the rug,
Long words slouch with stooping shoulders,
Code words carry secret folders,
Silly words flick rubber bands,
Hyphenated words hold hands,
Strong words show off, bending metal,
Sweet words call each other 'petal',
Small words yawn and suck their thumbs,
Till at last the morning comes.
Kind words give out farewell posies...

Snap! The dictionary closes.

Gravel, mud, or dust - Its all the same to you, old buddy. Westward 🤬 or bust! The presidents in Rushmore wink. ¨Here´s lookin´ at you.¨ But you keep cruising, sailing on. And you simply grin right back.

pick a partner
my body freezes
like an ship in ice
I want patty jean 
but Madison 
has already looped  
arms with her
Whiten seconds 
You never know what
Hes going to say 
Charles is the only one left
