PEPPER FOR MY CABBAGE

Folder: 
JOURNAL # 41

with these years
comes baggage
but they are
little more than
'Pepper For My Cabbage'
my Aussie friend
loved to use that old
Australian adage
I'd forgotten about it
until just now
as these phrases
saddled themselves
up on the page
a page woman as well
it seems I've become
sketching images with words
harnessing each their
abstract momentum
displaying them like art
upon an auditorium stage
whispering with my paints
well...............
would you look at me
I'm all the rage..............

Author's Notes/Comments: 

was thinking about the passing of the years how we all have baggage to carry with us as we move forward and this poem came to me. I'm glad the man I love doesn't mind all my baggage. He is very strong so I'm sure he can easily help me by picking it up and carrying it for me some of the way sometimes......... I just hope I'm able to even lift his baggage for a moment. That sounds almost dirty . I offer my most humble apologies............
