Isn't it funny how history
and time repeats itself
Parents know.......
Pitch black is his mind
sitting there
just watching time
like I remember when
i held her hand we walk
down past old Tom slumped
over and down
that good for nothing dog
that use to follow me everywhere
we walked down by those big trees
in the yard
and pee-ed together
you was my girl and i was your man
and we couldn't wait to tell our friends
he knew I let walter kiss me cause we
all was sitting in that circle
playin spin the bottle and we was the ones holding hands
and he done caught me wit him in the closet playin hide and go get it
boy I couldn't sit for days....
momma just kept keeping the garden
he knew when i came home with stockings torn
and was mad as a bat out of hell
that walter was kissing kim
and i told him
he could have the bitch
after i placed her out of the box after school....cause fifth grade ain't no joke and i would be a woman soon and i need a boyfriend who was mature
he said keep yo head in those books
boys don't know what they wont at this age....and I knowed he was right cause
he told me...how he went and pee-ed with another girl that next week cause he liked looking at dey panties
and i said daddy uck i don't want to know about that....
pitch black is his stare
just out seemingly into no-where
i think he think of the times when
I first started driving and i drove his truck into the corner of our house
and he was bent over with laughter
cause the dogs where barking
momma was yelling
I was crying and scared
cause i didn't know his old rusty truck could move so fast
and he just laughed and laughed and laughed
we both was in the dog house
and he said baby I won't be here long
marry that good fellow and make him a home cause I need to know you will be alright
then he smiled and said I know you got your momma in you that evil life sucking bitch (but he loved her every inch) and she goning to be alright on her own
now he sits and she just tends to her garden

I had few moments here today but needed to stop and get a piece of your world. I always enjoy your life portraits!!! Thanks.
I agree, this is brilliant, unique, and totally absorbing.
It has a sharp undercurrent to it that really grabs you.
I read it three plus times and got something new out of it each time.
Amazing and it burns a hole in one's mind.
Bravo!
This piece of wonderment from your memories is soooo endearing. I love every line of this. It is so well=told. It should be in a contest or something, and it should win!
When we write we take the words and turn them every which way to make sure they are the piece for the puzzle. You take the image and fit in place, draw from soul and life give flavor and memories a place to reside, not just for now but for those that come later a reminder of when and now, beauty not in the common but common in the beauty. So well you layer and build, the reader is caught and held to you say it is finished. Outstanding write... Walt
one just doesn't read your poems, they experience them through your vivid depictions--BRAVA! i love this one--multi-layered and extremely complex emotions running through
Perhaps I'm missing it, but I see the dark side in this powerful poem, as only you can depict it Mitzi! A superb capture of the shadows in memories that seek to find the light.
Brilliant as always Poet!;-)
Nice one, Mitzi! Well done! Love both the poem and art! BRAVA!

Is it just me, or do the rest of you realize we're sitting in the midst of brilliance, here? My god, Mitzi, this just ran right over me like a truck... I'm dumb-struck by just the 'feel' of it... my head keeps hollering: more, more. Unique? Clever? Absorbing? yeah, yeah yeah... you are one power-packed, masterful writer of the human element in us all... but you have a corner on the writing end of it. This is great stuff! katy xox.
Brings back memories!
