this title really has absolutely nothing to do with this post but it's my favorite line from my favorite song, Saint Mary's by American Aquarium. It's not out yet--I stole it from BJ off YouTube. Shh. don't tell him.

I don't really have anything to blog about today which means tomorrow's will be mind blowing (i hope.) and heads up, it'll probably talk a lot about Saint Mary's. something about that song just gets to me. anyways. to keep you guys entertained, i'm gonna read you a poem i wrote for my creative writing class last semester.
The Green Front Door
We raced to the end
of that old dirt road,
bare feet kicking up
a dust trail for the world
that followed us there
As we clambered up
to the green front door
Gosh I hated that green door
with it’s mismatched and
scratched paint
I dared my old brother
to push it open
We held our breath
as the door swung back
into our young faces
And we heard a familiar
voice calling out
“Don’t you know better than that?!”
The door swung open again
And allowed us to pass through
into a wonderland
We called it Grandmama’s
and Grandaddy’s house
Our own little wonderland
with mysteries on the shelves
stories in the walls
and laughter always coming from
Grandmama’s kitchen
And when the breeze blew through
the sound of a fishing pole
reeling thru the air, thru the water
then walking home
picking an apple down by
Grandaddy’s barn
Now I walk
Through Grandmama’s kitchen
Through Grandaddy’s barn
I smile as I remember
the mysteries on the shelves
the stories in the walls
the green front door
that familiar voice
And I think
Gosh I hate that green door
And yes, I did know better
sending love your way. thanks for taking the time out of your day to allow me to share my life with you.
