X ~ Xavier Street













Round corners bend smoothly,

meld walls into side stone archways

Zen touched.


Colours muted by winter's touch

sail dreamlike carriages

clippity - clopping in midday

through quiet streets

with mums for sale.


He watches through scarf wrapped eyes

wearing fingerless gloves.

The world of those who live

on Xavier Street.

    1. Oh that is a kind thing for you to say, I do love words, and painting pictures with them is part of the timeless wonder of some of my favorite authors/poets, so this compliment is a treasure.

  5. Reading the words, seeing each one clearly, I am reminded of our Mackinac Island. There are no motor vehicle permitted on the island so all transport is horse back, horse and carriage or foot. Boats bring you there and take you back to reality, but while on the island you are in the picture you painted above. ♥

    1. Oh then I will have to add that to places to see on my bucket list for certain. I love stepping into a fairytale.

    2. Oh, I forgot, you can bike all over as well! It's at it's most beautiful in early June,,,the lilacs bloom on the island and it is covered with lilacs. All summer it is full of beauty, but I do love the early lilac season most. This year could be different, our lilacs downstate are done already. Mine frosted and I had none. Very sad for me.

    3. Oh bummer... I love lilacs. Ours has buds on it, but it's not blooming yet. That sounds like a beautiful place Jo. :-)
