A place for poets of all ages to showcase their work to readers, getting feedback and opinions!  All entries should be
submitted to Dusty via email (the link is at the bottom of the Front Porch page if you need it!)   Just send the poem to me
in the body of an email with a short bio telling us who and where you are, your age and / or anything else you want us to
know...

Featured poets will have their work displayed here on the Guest Poet's Page.  An entry will stay up at least one week,
perhaps longer, if there are no new poems waiting to be featured.   Readers can email me with comments about a poem
seen here and I will post the comments below the piece for all to see.   The poet's email will remain private, unless he or
she gives permission for it to be shared.

So if you've got gobs of poetry that has been stacked up in a desk drawer somewhere now's the time to haul it out,
polish it up and let it shine!   See what people think!  You'll never know until you try!!

  October 16, 1982

I was stopped by a train
forging its way,
rolling to where I could not say
but to someplace brighter than I sat that day.

There were things to be done,
people to see-
My time was like money; elusive, not free,
but free time I now had, it was all just, for me.

The ties that were binding
began to speak-
bending under pressure, flexible, weak,
they revealed one can still go forward in retreat.

The cross-
guards soon gestured, beckoning on,
pointing to where the others had gone;
whose lives lived on track, would wait for no one.
