[bodytext] => The tell tale rasp of scuffing corduroy;
An unavoidable corrosion of inner trouser thigh,
Effortlessly drowning a soft shoe bounding,
With knowledge to impart he wanders campus
Leather features; Survivors of an eggshell blast,
Perform a showcase of eccentric ticks
Lips on inward pout, with eyebrows stable raised,
Downward tufts of nasal hair flow free in the breeze
Stubborn buttery crumbs of morning toast
Cling to the lapels of an ancient tweed,
Random splashes of a vintage port nightcap
Distort an already unfortunate polyester necktie
Smell? Of course! Like a second hand bookshop,
The one at the corner of Trafalgar Street in
Brighton to be precise - and as I recall;
Particularly famous for it’s musty penguins

Terry,
This ...for some reason was soothing to me. Maybe because he seemed so familiar.
Great write my friend,
Sharon;) |

| Amazing! I love this and all your blazingly image-evocative poetry. You must be a great world traveler or have a GIGANTIC imagination. What exotic places you take your readers to... it's much cheaper than airline tickets! You are a wonderful writer. I hope to God this is more than just a hobby for you. |

Hi Terry,
Someday I'd like to visit that second hand bookshop at the corner of Trafalgar Street in Brighton . This professor is a person I'd like to meet and talk with. I think I could learn much from him.
Always,
Laurie |

G'day Terry,
What a gift you are, this is just so brilliant,
I felt I was walking with him. I must know him.
Thank you for this. |

I think it was quite good. Also comments like the one that was posted about this very negatively and we know which one that is, have no place here. Constructive criticism is fine, but put downs like that are pathetic.
Exellent job...... |
