just three this time. I've got room for a quick poem!

motorcycles 2  
By "Laughing" Larry Berger 

The mark of the open Road
changes 
depending on 
whom you chose to join with

No matter whom your chose
the "Colors"  will match for the entire family!



Leathers and Harleys   
Have built more American Legends
than Disney and Doc Seuss combined !

Ah
but Fonzie left the Falcons 
and Joined his sons in the Hamptons for a few
episodes  before they sent him up for tax evasion .

The Son's of Anarchy 
have left Charming again till at least next season

Yet
even today
the steel horse  brings fantasies to mind.    


Neat Huh? 

here are those book links I promised you :

I see that you like my Saltian idea of posting revised poems online for people's comments so people see the before and after. Good for you. I think things like this help poets a lot. Have you gotten your copy of Saltian yet? I know you'll like it, especially since you're in it. Here's a link to Amazon for your convenience: http://www.amazon.com/Saltian-dance-Alice-Shapiro/dp/1936373246/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335284798&sr=8-1 Thanks for being part of the project.

Good post Lawrence. And I like the fact that you've posted an even that's closer to my neighborhood than yours. ;-) I enjoy reading "poetic conversations."

I like your poem. The only word I would omit is "with" after "join."

I am not a robot...I am not a robot... ;~D
