this poem is so old, I don't remember writing it!
Rubes Ride
The mid-way beckons,
unrestrained, irresistable,
glitter bright and neon painted;I soar through the darkness
without a net, whirl
in ever widening circles;my head spins, but I hold fast
to the sight of you
just beyond the sideshow.Not once do you call my name,
not once do you look my way,
no games of chance for you,so sure that I will follow your lead
the second the lights go out.
And I always do.Little Creek, Delaware

I think I know her! I believe I am she. Wonderful poem and I am glad you found it and posted it here.
Wow- what one little image can say! It's amazing really. It's really vivid. I am glad you braved the library to post!
Well, Sandra... This tells me how far you have come as a poet. It is decent, but you are so much better now. This one was written fairly close to the time I first met you, huh? What the hell was that poetry site?

I don't like to be taken for granted.
@adventofreason - @MooncatBlue - @Danth - @murisopsis - Thank you, my friends . . . hope you are all well and enjoying your summer . . .S
I can almost feel the ride in this one...
How are the computer issues coming?
^^I think it's sexy, too^^
And I have to respectfully disagree with Dan--I think this little poem is just as good as your current work!
@angi1972 - how I love the library...yeeeesh...but here I am! So not to complain...thanks for stopping by. Tomorrow I will try to remember to bring some poetry to post...HOW ARE YOU?
Sandra
@Basilwire - I was just thinking of you...wondering where you might be, as well...subtly sexy, yes, I guess...pleased enough if you think so! How have you been? What's new? I try to tell myself that I am NOT internet dependant, but I wander through my coffee breaks like a lost child in search of her "lovey" ((laughing)) . . . on me. oh me, oh my........pooe, poor pitiful, Sandra
@SaadiaOnline - Thank you , darling...it has had some hefty editing since it was written, eons ago. Very glad you like it. How are you? I have been enjoying your book, btw...S
Sandra, this is great. I don't know how you could forget about this little beauty...
Sometimes we all just need to let go and wait to see the light again.
Just got back from Turkey and read this beautiful beautiful creation of yours. Where are you?
Thought I would just sit here and soak up some Sandraness. Missing you.
@ravensgift - very old, little poem...sweet, though...thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
@zionlover - exactly! thanks, Norman. Sandra
@ZSA_MD - Message me (please) I want to hear all about your trip! I am in Burlington just now, but most of my communications is through the computers at the library. Glad you are home. Thanks for stopping by!
Sandra
@adventofreason - Me, too. My sister leaves on Saturday and I have to go to Connecticut over the weekend for a funeral ((sigh)) but I will try to call you next week...S
I am sorry for the circumstances of your trip. And sorry that you keep running away from home. I do miss you tons. Be careful and take care,

@adventofreason - It was sad - and not so sad. The death of a beloved friend's parent is always difficult, and, yet, so many uplifting things came of this visit. Lou Lehrer continues to be a truly inspirational soul, and I was very pleased to have attended those services that honored him...AND wonderful to reconnect with my friends. Life is good. Hope you are, too...S
I am good, but SORELY missing you. I am hotter than a June bride in a feather bed, and not in a good way. I am very ready for some relief. The heat index has been over 110 for the past week. Even the ac is getting tired.
Glad you are home again . . . how long this time?
@adventofreason - well, you are right about that - I have two more trips planned for August - one to Connecticut next weekend with the babe, and then to Montreal for a few days to work on a manuscript with a friend...life is good. Talk with you, soon...S
