Literati – Day 19 April PAD

Literati

She fancies herself

as an Urban Literati

 

Penning micro poems

and micro stories

which she thinks

are brilliant…

But…

Mediocre at best

 

She has some in

her circle sucked

into believing

her lie…

fools…

 

But…

 

those knowing the

truth see her for

the fraud…

the fake…

the poser…

she really is

and just shake

our heads at

all the fools…

Swinging Bridge – Day 17 April PAD

Swinging Bridge

Growing up we

spent time at the

Swinging Bridge

spanning the Colorado

River dividing two

Central Texas counties

We would run across

shouting with joy

and setting the

bridge into motion

An elaborate Rope and

Lumber affair back then

It saw hay-rides…

school field trips…

necking in the moonlight…

And…

way too many late-night

keg parties where some

drunk fool jumped into

the river below and

could not figure out

how to get climb

the river bank

Today…

it has been refurbished

for at least the second

time

Now being held high

above the Colorado with

huge steel ropes attached

to cement stanchions on

each end…

Yet…

It still has its

wooden deck and a

nice sway when

driven across

Or…

better yet…

when a herd of

screaming children

experience the joy

of running from

one county to

the next!
