1964 Convertible VW Bug Scarf to keep my hair in place Bright red lipstick, peachy rouge Shades to mystify my face Joyride before the deluge. Sunlight kisses pale pink skin Ocean air relieves my lungs Whistles from the passing men-- My name’s the word on all their tongues. Lowered shades then flirty wink Just enough to keep them piqued How I wonder what they’d think If they knew I’m just a geek. I return to Seaside Street Check the old familiar box Ascend my widow’s balcony Slip into my fuzzy socks Write a song to match the waves Breaking out the windowed bay Pity my piano’s pleas Through the glass watch storm clouds play. I contemplate my wistful life, And all the lives in dreams I’ve known; The one in which I have my bug Is the one I’d make my own. — Erin Overton 95
Writer’s Canopy Alas stagnant and unyielding towering walls entrapped me— suffocating buds of writing until debris of doubt spread tainted seed. A walk, a venture, a change by the unknown granted me inspiration to write Nature’s ode. Within a gazebo—my window— decadent and fruitful, life began to breathe unharnessed, unabashed, easier than perceived. Creatures frolicked, unconcerned for watcher’s eyes Jubilation, not pride, gifted them purpose in life. My twisted grove of emerald veil fair cradling the wooden bridge and whimsical child-marked stairs, for you my hand embraces a gold, enamored pen. For you, dear friend, liquid onyx paints the page in poetic calligraphy. Within this glade of waving trees and silken dreams, sands warm sandal-covered feet and naive giggles, like succulent, honeyed streams, melt among the warm incantations of chortling doves and sweet chickadees. 96
