As many as that?????

That’s cos they don’t need a passport to go abroad! They can go from Texas to California without one! And from Florida to Ohio! Only 4% of Americans know that the rest of the world exists :wink: :D :D

He shuffles through his lawn, now choked with weed
Dismayed that he has lived so long to see
His Babylonian wonders run to seed

The creeping shade of ash and willow tree
Once welcome refuge from the blaze of sun
Now beckons him to some far darker lea

With no respect for days when he was young
And strode this soil, commander of it’s fate, and his
The long hot summer just begun

So, breathless by the rust and paint scaled gate
Still clutching to the falshoods of the brave
In shadow-measured time begins his wait
For those who claim their purpose is to save
To lead him to the garden of his grave

wonderful imagery froggy

I wonder if he needs to borrow some weedkiller? :wink:

So do I angel. But the ability to think is learned. The youngsters think they know it all for some reason. Maybe you should post this on a different thread? You know the one!

i certainly agree with you both and as ever angel you put into poetry in your unassuming way what we all try and say.

I agree with pol, it is a wonderful poem and gets right to the heart of the matter.

Thank you for posting it Angel xxx

Not at all. Some people (no names) may have to look it up in the dictionary though. :lol:

*Rifles through her dictionary with the tip of her tongue poking out between her teeth, frowning in concentration…. hmmmmm *

But seriously (ish), I am not sure if I would dare learn the craft of writing poetry, I would be worried that I would spend so much time trying to get it right, that I wouldn’t be able to write anything anymore.
