After Retirement . . . Prompt #592
After Retirement By Ron Salisbury
What were you thinking Eunice asked
as the fireman who had strapped me
to his back brought me down from
the eucalyptus on the engine ladder.
It seem like such a good idea, just
nail little boards to the tree and keep
climbing. The canopy of things up there,
a complete universe, distance like future.
Thinking was something I usually did.
Then one day stopped. Idea doesn’t have
boundaries, besides, I had these little boards
left over from the fence.Note from Marlene: When the prompt is a poem, you can write on the mood or the theme of the poem, a line, or a word. Just Write!

“Since the seventh grade, all I’ve ever wanted to be is a poet. It is a great honor to be chosen as San Diego’s first Poet Laureate. This appointment will empower me to represent the dynamic San Diego I love and promote. It will allow me to teach and encourage poetry to an even higher presence than I already do. I want to give back to the city that adopted me, share my poetry with its people and share San Diego with the world.”
