Howdy-Hey

a brief verbal soiree

I just spoke to a neighbor

Well, I did in a way

I looked and said "Howdy"

To which she replied "Hey"

So I'm off to nap now

Feels like I talked all day

And I'm quite exhausted

From that simple Howdy-Hey

That was, coming from me

Hermit's soliloquy

Jim,
Do you ever read Robert Creeley, the Beat poet.
I love his work...and this piece reminds me so much of him.

[Desert Knave]

Thank you. I have not, but will look into his works. ~Jim
