seattle...

from my trip to the pacific northwest in 1995...

stretched out on the patio

green in july

the pugeot beckons me

explore my shores

explore my islands

i enjoy fresh seafood

fresh fruit

on the deck alone

a glass of wine

i watched the sun come up

and watched it go down

Pike's market

college strips

chased by goth's

befriended a lawyer

befreinded a pastor

drank 28 of 101

flavors of microbeer

sketched a concert

in the park

of the indigo girls

singing about galileo

the air so clean

and the pacific

my mother

the homeless rule here

the cops subserviant

looking for inspiration

looking for kobain's

bloodstain

a girl at a used bookstore

wants to take me out

"i don't think my wife

would approve"

and she blushes

so we go as friends

to a pow wow

high above the seattle skyline

and we watched the sun

sleep in the ocean

eating fried bread

and smoking a little

hemp

last tym you said a story with ur poetry nd now a tale of travel... was this al real? or fictional? u know i have a doubt because it is too eventful to be real... lovely words, nice rhythm... and even humorous... i laughed at 'so we go as friends' hehe....

wonderful.. a complete trip in a poem, clever choice of words to fully make use of the visual/emotion you want the reader to experience, not an easy thing to do..

[Wildfleour]

Bradley, you find a way to capture so much. I visualize as I read your words.

[Ashesh]

Haha.. nice one dude!
But you didn't complete the story, what happened after smoking?! ;)

[Jonathan De Elvira]

[NoneOfYourBusiness akaK..]

[Michael of Gilead]

I could use a little hemp about now.

[Sweet_pale_cacophony]

You give a glimpse of your life in your writes,that to me is endearing..

[Forever Mine]

You have a pretty good memory if you took this trip in '95 and writing about it now.. jk. But anyways, it was very good and kinda funny in parts

[Robin]

poetry like this is favorite of mine , like looking through a photo album while you narrate ~
