A Beautiful Post, Amy, Bob, and Billie. I Love to See All the Neat Poems and Pics that are Always at Amy's Place!

I Recently Wrote a Poem about the Remnants of an Old Bridge Here where I Live, but my Writing is Mediocre, Lol. But the Bridge is Always Food for Thought whenever I See it.


The Bridge

I am the Remnants of a Bridge
That Sits Upon a Lonely Ridge
Once I Spanned Across the 'Crik;
Now, I am just Three Lone Sticks.

Oh, the Stories I could Tell
Of Years of Use before I Fell
Horses, Coaches, Wagon Trains
Crossed me to Access the Plains.

My Work Now Done, I am at Rest
Way Up High Upon a Crest
A Fascination to the Eye
Of Everyone who Passes by.

Through Wind and Rain and Storm I Stand
Bringing Mystery to the Land.
The People have All Come and Gone;
My Bois D'Arc Wood Goes On and On.

Nice poem, Kitty Mittens, and your photo as always is very striking. I like reading about the Old West history of the bridge and the area there.

Excellent work, K-M!

Don’t be too quick to sign a contract with Amy. She’s a slave-driver and doesn’t pay enough.
