The elm tree stood proud rising above the rooftop shading the house from the eastern sun its twisted trunk groaning on occasion like an old man defiant leaking the signs of aging.

If not for a steady gaze you might miss the porch that wrapped itself around the home of generations, of sitters and talkers, sippers and sinners, come and gone.

~ this is such an enchanting opening to this piece, Andz

I absolutely love the imagery and the character of the tree, the porch, and Uncle Bill.....there is such a serenity in your voice in this one...beautifully written, dear one

Author: Paul [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 21:53:40 10/20/07 Sat Andy, for me, being a dyed in the wool Brit, the image of the porch as you describe it is so much of the American way of life. Vivid in the descriptives, you painted a world that I can, to date, only imagine. Many thanks for that and allowing me into your memories. Peace and hope, Paul. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
