A to Z Challenge 2020
Down on the corner
when the sun sets
stands a bar
of much propriety

My “Cheers” of a sort
where I can go
and not feel alone
yet talk to no one

Except Joe
the bartender
and king of
the lonely hearts
a genius
at listening
to what’s said
and unsaid

Oswald’s
last of the taverns
long may it reign
for gypsy souls
like mine


For April, I am challenging myself to both #NaPoWriMo but also the #AtoZChallenge.
