| About me | I drive a semi-truck, yes an 18 wheeler, teaming with husband of 20 some years (3rd time's a charm). We met while working in revolving restaurant on top of Space Needle in Seattle, and we've been been going in circles ever since. I find that poetry is one thing I can finish while in the bunk bouncing down I90 or I10 and everywhere in between. Former restaurant owners, we semi-retired to trucking to see the world and get paid for it. We like Nevada; it's truck friendly. I have a few books started (One is titled: "Lady Over the Road") and some short-stories and poetry finished. | ||||||||||||

Welcome to Neopoet.
I see you’re getting actively involved, which is great. If you have any questions about the site and how to get around, please feel free to ask. And where can one find those chicken legs? (They are chicken legs, aren’t they?) I hope your stay is rewarding. I know mine has been. –Arrow

It’s a duck butt, and you can find the legs in the Rain Forest Cafe bar. These happen to be in the Ontario Mills Mall, CA. Thanks for the note. I’d like to hear that keyboard. Looks like you may be a jammer.

In my neck of the woods
Just thought I would say “Hello”, seeing that you live close to me. I was closing up shop (my laptop) for the night when I happened across on of your comments, upon seeing you reside in Spokane I was delighted to find another poet so close by. I will read your work when I am not so sleepy and tomorrow already calls.

Hi Dee,
I just happened to stop by and couldn’t leave without saying that you have a quote from an awesome book up there!
Yours,

quote
Nina,
It’s cool that you noticed the quote. I’m just getting into this book and it is quite a challenge. Ayn Rand’s writing has suddenly gained huge popularity on the political front here in the US and I know how the quote plays into this phenomenon. I even see this quote ‘who is John Gault?’ on bumper stickers and bathroom walls. My husband is reading it first. Someday I’ll give you a book review. I take it you have finished it and apparently liked it–so I’ll let that be incentive to take it on. Maybe you would tell me what you especially liked about it. That would be neat.
Thanks for the note.
Always, Deelilah
Dear Deelilah

Dearest Jayne
It was so great of you to inquire. I brought my trucking ass back back and hope to catch up with you all. My energy reserves just ran out this winter–but I did get some writing work done, both poetry and other. Anyway, I’m glad to see you’re still going strong. Must be cold in your parts. We just left Florida and 108 degrees.
Yours, Deelilah
