[hometext] => My husband paints electric poles and towers. It is some life. This piece is about a guy he works with, who just can't seem to be able to retire.
[bodytext] =>  Look at the painter man's tan and weathered face. {No disgrace} Lines to match all the roads he's traveled. Lines so easy to trace. He started painting the steel at such a young age; instilled the life of freedom deep within his veins. {he's not ashamed} He's lost so much with the life that was once home. Out on the road lonely ahhhh but never alone. He's found family afar, traveling brothers {some...drinking partners} all living this dream of freedom on the high steel. Thrill seeker touching sky I cannot imagine how it must feel. How many times brother have you said you'd retire {liar} You can't stop it's part of what you do. Reaching for the top. It defines you Free Weathered Head in the clouds Painter Man it's the life you command. Dedicated to Paul, who every Winter says "I'm done" and every Spring........ he's on the road again.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
