[bodytext] => He told me that he had seen me on the cover of a dime store novel; that I looked a lot prettier in person. On our first date he brought my mother a box of cigars and my father a dozen used golf balls. The trunk of his car had no lid and you could see the road on the passenger side beneath your feet. He had charm. He stood under my bedroom window and tied a note to a brick; it broke the window set off burglar alarms; the police came and he apologized. We went to dinner and he smelled like chicken poop from putting barb wire around the chicken coop. I told him pigs will fly before I married him and he showed up at the hardware store where I worked with a pig in the flatbed of a pick-up truck. He called me out strapping wings on the pig yelling: “Pig to fly on runway nine Pig to fly on runway niner.” He had charm. Showed up one Saturday wearing a gingham dress over his jeans saving he was saving up to buy it for me. “How does it look? ” he said, “wanted to be sure.” I was sure. Married him. Oh, he still has charm; lots of it rubs off on me.

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. ©
