After Retirement By Ron Salisbury<\/strong>
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\u2019t have
boundaries, besides, I had these little boards
left over from the fence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note from Marlene:<\/strong> 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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince the seventh grade, all I\u2019ve ever wanted to be is a poet. It is a great honor to be chosen as San Diego\u2019s first Poet Laureate<\/a>. 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.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
