There was a haunting beauty behind her eyes, beyond her sorrow, a beauty that found its way into one’s heart and led them home.
nice...i love places like that...probably not the healthiest food...but some of the most tasty...and you def catch up on the scuttlebutt....ha
ReplyDeleteGee this brings back fond memories for me. Some day I hope to follow that old Route 66 highway that I've heard some towns have brought many of the old forgotten places back to life!
ReplyDeletereally paint the setting nicely here. Scuttlebutt is a perfect word for a short verse, really adds much more to the piece than being but one word of the short verse. Really nicely done. Thanks

Sounds like a very nice place to sit and write (short) poetry at, great picture.
ReplyDeleteScuttlebutt - a different menu every day; plenty of material for a poet to get to work with. That sure sounds like my kind of place :-)
ReplyDeleteClever write - so much said.
