Send me 

.

Send me a letter, send it to Ophir

Ophir, Colorado, will do just fine

I'll be there in a day or two or three

One thing, darling, I'm missing you greatly 

.

I miss you in the morning, then at night

When I eat my noontime lunch, I miss you

My heart aches and I can't sleep, want you near

Send my letter, have it wait in Ophir 

.

The city lights, the hustle and bustle

They're getting to me, I want to come home

Home to you sweetheart, but I can't come now

Business at hand holds hope to make for riches

Note:  Most of the 'poems' I write are written with the intent that they can stand alone, independent of the pictures.  A few like this one I wrote with standing alone in mind but also meant for play with the pictures.

 

Actually the pictures here are not what would be inferred (my hopes) from reading the poem.  The top is a genuine U.S. Post Office, open a few hours some days, several miles northeast of Telluride.  The lower picture is of Mrs. Jim and I out for a walk through the little hills, foothills to the great Colorado Rockies. 

 

There in 2008, we were visiting Colorado-summering neighbors on our return to Texas from Nebraska after completing the Blogstock 'o8 celebrations (link).  I think we have aged a little now over the intervening six years.
