Sitting

Rick Wojtala

Free verse
My youth is long gone.
No longer a hound.
But with Art; glory bound.
Now on the porch
But with girls I carry a torch.

    No longer a young man myself, I feel every syllable of every word in your work. *sigh* What I would give to have girls look at me now the way they did in my youth.
