Peripheral ME

Salty water wells into the stream
Brackish prism through which I see
Hugging the road that sets you free
Focus forward, peripheral disappears from the scene
Making transparent all that lies to the sidE

Oh! This is AWESOME! What a great poem! I am envious - poetry does not come easily to me. You have a gift!

My favorite part is bolding the M and the E, so that when I read the last line, "making transparent all that lies to the side" is indirectly the "me"...rather that directly, you are the "me" that has been blocked from the forward (perhaps selfish) focus.

Nice work!

Friday Shootout - Outdoor Food

Outdoor Happy Hour at one of Cleveland's treasures - The Great Lakes Brewing Company. We made it up there for Christmas in July to sample the Year's First public Christmas Ale on tap. It's dark, delicious and in this season 8% alcohol by content - or so that's what we were told anyways. Needless to say by the middle of my third I was feeling pretty "good". Enjoy a night of eating outdoors with me in Cleveland.

Friday Shootouts - Power (Zest for Life)

I took power to mean "zest for life". And this is where I get mine. Hanging out with people that know what it means to be alive and have fun. Drinking tea, receiving inspirational quotes, and photography. Reading as much as I possibly can. And good old sunshine when we are blessed enough to see it!
