One other person

One other person

Bright sun glaring
on bare trees
and dead weeds
Standing among
the decorative rock
that borders this
fast food entrance
Brings me back
to lunch hour
Four decades
and counting
It's not over.

I just read some of your entries - man- it's been awhile but everytime I read your stuff it makes me laugh or smile or imagine exactly what you are describing in my mind. You're a great writer and I enjoy every minute of it. Keep up the dialoge - you could put it into a book someday. Love it.

Thanks for your comment, Jeannette.
There are few things a would-be writer likes better than flattery and encouragement. Ah, but if only all my readers were as enthusiastic and appreciative as you.
Please, come back often and feel free to leave more comments. And, by the way, don't feel like you always have to leave "nice" comments -- feel free to tell me what you don't like, too. I'm sure that I won't be able to please all my readers all the time. And I don't claim to be the best speller at the keyboard. I also have a tendency to make up punctuation and sentence structure as I go along. Like most Chefs, I consider it "adding a little unique flavor."
