Tennis shoes
The athlete waits like an automatic door
when everything is taken in stride of course
and time to challenge the weather picking up
ball and foot coming from behind
the proposal on a better knee
was the start of the chase
streets take the name and buying
comfort wanted to go in
stitching of wrought iron fences
the cars are lacing around corners
25 birds take off leaving a bow
and the knots in trees…it can’t be this long!
color won’t fade from these or the face
or flag no way of white

thanks. I’m kinda glad I didn’t say ‘tied’ bow.
I really like to share here, since you guys can’t come to my blog
where I post all of them.

I really like this.
It makes me think of the stitching on a patchwork quilt where the patches of the quilt are the gardens in a neighborhood and the fences are the stitches.
It also brings to mind when you’re running or bicycling past a wrought iron fence, it’s almost like a row of stitches marking time as you move along the fence.

glad it spoke to you.
I don’t worry about sounding too poetic.
