My Poem I never knew what this road meant to me walking to the park the waves of the lake clapping against the shore, colorful hardwoods blowing in the breeze I had the whole gazebo to myself, and although I was alone, my poetry could fire up all the grills, put hamburgers and hotdogs on every picnic table as if it was happily the middle of summer, and my words were the hitch chains coming and going, and the campers chattering.
