[bodytext] =>  DID YOUR MOTHER HAVE A CLOTHESLINE? Do you remember your Mother's clothesline, was divine! wooden with wire lines, open area for sunshine. religiously inclined with laws to follow strictly wipe the wire down each and every time faithfully.  Similar to planting your garden, whites come first, row after row, panties hid in the back, the color or size, n'er let anyone know! like peas in a pod, intricately spaced, evenly and perfectly hung! old wringing washing machine nearly dry, tightly wrung!  Clothesline day was always so much fun, dogs and cats run......... family ritual, worshiping nature's earth, cloudless sky turbine many times barefoot to feel the earth's touching grace. clothesline's speak, neighbor's observe, your family n'er disgrace!  Socks must be carefully hung toe first, and heels aligned to same side mother's method is always best, once collected organization applied when folding, it's quick, no sorting, method saves time. disliked my Mother's way, now I'm her "Partner In Crime"  Early in the week, early in the morning, Monday was always washday. Wyoming weather didn't cooperate, snow-- still go-- no "Hanging Delay" frozen stiff as boards, and known as "Freeze Dry" in her day an advantage, no wrinkles, no ironing, her way best even today  "It all comes out in the wash" started with the line.......... it would announce "newborns", and illnesses like a gossip vine beware if you were a bed wetter, extra sheets, we all knew! new families on our block, their wash reveal, true, or taboo! Thanking my friend Gary for the funny email that inspired me to write this "revealing" poem.

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. ©
