Travel Theme: Glow (a walk in Carytown)

Posted on by Prior...

Poem: “Me and My Beau” by Y. Prior (part 2 is here)

The rain had stopped – and “Me and my beau”

looked up to see this Glow….

…..   we both enjoyed it SO!

And on the patio

there was a song playing that I used to know….

oh – so long ago…

but I remembered parts – felt the rhythm – knew the flow.

I wanted to dance, just kinda slow –

my Beau joined for a second, but then said, “No…”

and rightfully so….

after all, we were on the patio.

~

Then down the block – we continued to stroll –

while lo and behold – there was a glowing NEON “O” –

glow of the old school neon light in carytown_priorhouse

 

Our walk continued to flow….

while we sipped some “iced mocha Jo”

and then noticed a sign that our city was about to grow:

A crane was there – emitting a vertical light show!

here it is in black and white-  to show beam mixed with shadow:

And while Me and my Beau

enjoyed all this GLOW….

It was time to leave –  we had to GO!

~

But ya know, we still took it slow

hand in hand –

on this simple stroll,

which I enjoyed so…

and my smile  – well it had a soft – um, glow?

O I don’t know!

it was really just so-so….

but still something to savor – and bestow!

This is linked to where’s my backpack travel theme – Glow – and the poem is to celebrate a bit of National Poetry month.

~~ And a side note to the poetry police – this simple rhyme scheme is not trying to be the poem of the century – I just like to write my thoughts with basic elementary rhyme – if you are looking for deeper poetry – well you will not find it here…. peace out! ~~

    1. Thanks so much Sonel – and your comment really made my day! 🙂

      even though I think it should be “my beau and I” which is why I have – me and my beau- in quotes – but who cares really, because in poetry- I guess anything goes.

      have a great weekend. ❤

    1. thank you so much. and it is all true – but the photo of the crane was from ear lie this week – but it fit so well – 🙂 and the song was called Dilemma – by Nelly – (thanks Shazam) which is a song I would never have on any of my playlists – but I knew it from the saturated air time it received. “and no matter what I do… all I think about is youuuuuu” was the only part I really knew from long ago…. – ha! and “east coast I know your shakin’ right…”
      thanks again and have a great day!

  4. I loved this! You captured everything so beautifully! I’ve always been fond of water drops, light and the ensuing glow. To cap it off…your poem was divine, made me smile AND want to grab my own beau for a little spin around the patio.
