after all it was her place

what is poetry? not a heart. not a kiss. not a tear falling. just words that move across the page. like pool. you rack em up. take a shot. drop a few in the hole and then part. friday fly bye. say good bye-bye. now rack em up again. ~ sara

Great write steve!You made me recall my bar had a pool table. I became very good at it. Played almost every day, besides 8 ball, nine ball, chinese pool with two sticks. Very different . Ever see it? The ball muast be kept rolling on the two sticks until you roll it off into the ball you want to hit. it is an art;-)Lots of fun. Thanks for the memories. Eileen
