Paul Newman and a ride home
Orphaned boy looking at sunsets
Sharks circle, surround, hold him down
Choking, gasping, water runs red
One boy left with the blood, another left dead
Runaways- Outlaws- Gone with the Wind
Blonde disguise- Bologna sandwiches and cigarettes to pass the time
Church and innocence consumed by flame
Smoke filled lungs strangled
Burnt fleshed heroes
A light extinguished from gentle eyes- too soon
Denial, acceptance, a letter slips free
“Stay gold, Ponyboy. Do it for me….”
This gave me goosebumps and brought back so many memories!! Thank you!
Thank you! I just read this book to my sixth graders at the end of the school year and it was so great to share it with them!
Isn’t it wonderful reading aloud to young people?! I just retired from teaching and hope to focus even more on my writing career!! Kudos to you!
