romantic poem of the week for August 10 1995 

NEXT PREVIOUS ALL

"I entered a sock-poem writing contest

I wrote about the long past evening

along the Maui shore when I first took them

off in front of you

to feel the sand between my toes.

But I didn't win you

or any other contest

Now whenever I see socks

I set them on fire

I have a luau

a barbie

I have a sacrifice

tomorrow I enter

a underwear writing contest"
Terrell - '80 Maui
