Morning's Rise – Day Two
Fast running feet on mountain loam,
With baying dog that runs behind,
A wood that tastes like wind and roam,
Of sunlit pools and melon rind.
In brothers’ yelps and screams descend,
Fast running feet on mountain loam.
We raid the dumps, attacks pretend,
For Playboy mags and Styrofoam.
With sun low bent and calls for home,
Through sandstone spires and redneck roads,
Fast running feet on mountain loam,
With hopes of stew and pie “ah ha-mode.”
We wash – “make sure behind your ears”
With snapping towels, and mustache foam,
We pray in rhymes, “sweet dreams” appear,
Fast running feet on mountain loam.

I spent my first five years in the town of Sewanee, TN and on the campus of the University of the South with two older brothers, and a shaggy blonde cocker named Daisy - enough said...

You are something, my reading feels alive again recently, refreshed with keen storytelling - in a way I have always envied from writers before you and you now. Keep going, Sir. See you tomorrow in NaPo.
I apologize for the delay in response - the comments here sort of overwhelmed me (not the first time) .
I thank you... for the read and the comment... and especially the reading list.

I'm certainly learning a lot about American culture in this year's NaPo - and being introduced to its various aspects in an uplifting poetic way. Nice ink.

You make forms seem so damn easy. And this one is like taking a quantum leap back into childhood.
