with excerpts from Matchbox 20, and gratitude to a couple I've never met... yet


Impressions


The jetty lights stare back at me like paralleled impressionistic stabs across the watery canvas of the bay, dotted I's of differing lengths shining in the soft rippled blackness. Mitch is slapping his guitar across the road behind me as I scribble, singing songs with his girlfriend - they're from another bay miles away. They're so sweet the two of them, singing, "the way I love you".

In the foreground the fronds on the lower branch of a Norfolk curl out in every direction reminding me of the beauty of this place I love and call home. And they're singing, "it's 3 a.m., and I must be lonely", and I'm not, and it's 10 p.m., "and she says Baby..."

Beautiful observations here my friend, the first lines are amazing in imagery and the couple with guitar and singing songs together,is such a sweet scene to capture in this lovely poem.

The mix of song lyrics and poetry in the final stanza, is the sign of a fine poet.

Smiling at you
