when she wakes
to find a snow
of comments
has fallen
on her blog
in the night,
she dances
a little dance
in the castle
of her heart
where angels’
guitars are
storming
the morning
with waterfalls
and mountain calls
that make the
sunshine sing.
That’s Jannie’s (my) submission for Open Link Night, week 17, at dVerse Poetry.
And here’s fresh snow on a castle…
Never been there but I did enjoy other beautiful parts of Germany in 1999 with my AWESOME penpal Doris,
who mailed me this photo of herself years before we met in person. She’d been to Australia…
5 guitars…..
The Beach Guitar was Kelly’s class’ fund raiser project at her school when she was 6.
Twinkles & Sprinkles y’all…

about 3 yellow cars in 55 words?
That when she took
the photos she was
wearing her $18 hat
and had just shared
a strawberry rose
with the child she
marvels at daily?
That she photoshopped out
the bird poop from photos 1 and 3?
That poop does sometime happen?
But fertilizer is the stuff of growth.
And love is ever at the helm!
G-Man is ever at the helm as our Friday Flash Fiction 55 host.
Write a 55, post it and let G-Man know.
He WILL pop over and comment.

Once in the suntan of my youth,
back when I wore my hair short
and my zest for adventure long,
I posed atop Grouse Mountain
with a girl I’d known one minute.
I think her name was Suzie.
She was really nice.
(And probably still is.)
When I’m famous she’ll come to one of my concerts
and slip a gilded notecard to a burly bodyguard,
thus reuniting us forever! (Yes – Bruno, Jaques &
Miguel will know to be ever on the look-out for her.)
In the notecard will be her 1986 photo
of us smiling there above Vancouver,
hers a slightly different pose of course,
maybe with me tipping up my wineskin,
both of us doing high can-can leg flings,
or me hoisting her with ease, like this…
But back to our future reunion!
After back-stage introductions,
we’ll all go out to dinner, where
I’ll be sure to have lots of pictures
taken for a follow-up post for you!
Yay!!! I can’t wait!!!!! Can you??
The above scintillating poem is my offering this week for dVerse Poets Open Link Night.
Get your poem-link up Tuesdays at 3:00 EST, and witness the magic take flight.
With love from Jannie.
