haiku (for Steeler Chick)

She stood there with her

emotions akimbo while

his gaze stained her cheek.

Lovely.

I have so many fond memories of the old Forbes Field and watching the Pirates play back in the 60s. My uncle was a police officer in Pittsburgh for many years.

Cheers!

Don, thanks for the visit and the compliment. I work with quite a few cops. Good lads!

PW, glad you enjoyed it! I really enjoyed writing this one.

Osquer42...I remember as a young boy the first time I saw my Uncle Jim in his police uniform. I was impressed, and proud to have an uncle who was a police officer. Of course, there was that memorable afternoon when he let me hold his revolver (empty of course). Wow. Could be the stuff of which a poem is made.
