~> Since Ya Left - [ red neck ] free verse

Thad Wilk

since ya left me gal

ah tried 

ta flush yer memory,

frum the 

transmission 

of ma broken heart---

``

in this "JIFFY-LUBE" station

a loneliness ah stand,

but the dipstick

uv are luv

jest keeps a readin'

thet we'ze 

still a quart low--

``

Ah still see'ze yer

purdy face;

yer still there,

like thet 

squashed butterfly

thet ma wipers 

jest cain't seem

ta remove cumpletely--

``

this pickup truck a luv

thet we once knowed

'afore ya

split on me babe,

still needs 

a jumpstart ev're day--

``

When ah turn on ma

hearts air cunditioner;

the Pine-Tree 

air refresher,

hangin' on ma

rearview mirror

of life, jiggles vigressly

an' always reminds me, a you~

    Dear Thad. What a heartbreak tale of misery. Excuse me for smiling. I guess I have a warped sense of humour. You know us Brits do know how to laugh. That flushing of her memory did make my lips turn upwards while they turned down again at the mention of a squashed butterfly. Thank you dear Thad for an entertaining read. Have yerself a great day:) I enjoyed my visit.

          Yer havin' way, way too mutch fun makin' light over heartbreak, ya are. Tis unfergivible, I tell ya. Gonna string yas up an' pelt ya wif me's scarves ta let ya knows tis downright unfergivible it is.
          So, I is truly sniffling cuz of frequent crying bouts and me is NOT happy, but I's glad to see yer havin' fun wi'out me.
          Beautifully rendered with excellent humor and good dialect, not to mention a teasing bit of poignancy flirting about. Thank you for sharing.

            Gโ€™day Thad.
            I think Iโ€™m about to opt out of todayโ€™s discussion. I believe Missy (above) has, in response to your problem, comprehensively covered your issues and in a way I could never hope to achieve (the vernacular ah do believe).
            I am however a little concerned that you may get behind the wheel in a highly emotional stateโ€ฆโ€ฆ
            Brilliant use of metaphor (which I donโ€™t understandโ€ฆ.)

            • Thad Wilk

              Howdy Dave!! ๐Ÿถ ๐Ÿ• ๐Ÿ‘‹
              Thanks for commending
              me on my 'brilliant' use
              of metaphor, even though
              you ain't into that kinda
              poetry!! ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿคฃ
              Great a hearing from ya!! ๐Ÿ˜„
