For The Small People
Firefly, firefly, fire fly for me. Pelican, brown pelican of the Gulf Coast pelicans, (you were a postcard pelican) preen once more for me. BP CEO sail your yacht on a pristine sea. For me.
Don't you wish there really were take-backs, and do-overs, that mistakes could be unmade and words rescinded? You got to the heart of the matter. Lovely!
I'm a blood courier and sometimes drive the coastline here in Louisiana. Words are inadequate to portray the tragedy here. Roland Your verse touched me,
Roland, I have to know what a blood courier is. It sounds like a very important occupation. I'm so glad you joined my blog and commented here. It's nice to have the perspective of one who has been there. Thank you.
