***from Sunset To Twillight, A Floridian's Journey

Rating: 2.8


Snow-bird Haven
Called my
Rambling Floridian ears

Gregariously grayed
Decked out Bermudas
Dark socks and sandals

They had seemed
So foreign, so frail
So elderly, so frugal

They all came out to
Welcome me, N0-Smokey Grey
And ours labs, Kirstie and Sam

They checked out our boat
Our truck, the books we were reading
They reminded us

About the pooper scoop,
The free videos, kayaks
Bicycles and bar-b- que

A few of their tales
Told
Over and over again

They shared their music
Out on the veranda
And sipped in white wine and sunsets

Yet, they tear about on rented
Motor bikes with tiny
American flags waving

And tenderly
Anointed one another with SPF-30
And called home to let the kids know

Yes, they were enjoying the winter sun
Dad had suffered no angina this week
And the seafood is truly yummy

And some how, I thought
We had crossed
That line in that Cedar-ed sand

(The Sandy Shores of Cedar Key)
