If you haven't caught on to SqueakyClean,
I recommend a journey to her blog where
she makes some interesting Observations.

I share with Squeaky the facination with
grocery shopping, and I am facinated by what people
buy.
There was an M.D. named John Tilden who
was into natural medicine during the early 20th century.
He was someone Dr. Bernard Jensen admired.
In his book called "Misscellaneous Writings,
he talks about watching people on a train
and what they ate for breakfast. He talked
about what they ate, and what it said about
their personality. I wish I could remember
more about that. It was very interesting.
Here is a poem from "Rekindling of Faith,"
my autobiography.
A Poem for Rollo
and a Burger Kind Kind of Guy
by Your Enchanted Gardener
This big fella, he was a Burger King kind of guy,
checked out in front of me
at the Safeway wearing a cap
like a caterpillar driver over this armored body
that looked like a clump of muscle.
He had a box of margarine;
for T.V. tonight, two wheaty-type
crackers they tell us build champions,
an economy bag of butterfingers
to counterbalance the dirty unseen hand
someone out there and life dealth him;
and a super sixe of Malt O'meal breakfast puffs
that at first glance looked like dry food for some dog
named Rollo with big paws and six feet long.
I just came from this Hilton Health show.
In my new openness
I was almost possessed to blurt out
"Doesn't eating that stuff
make you mad?" but he probably
would have knocked my block off if I did.
I looked inside him
and saw this angry little face
like those of missing children on milk cartons,
some lost for lack of a good home-cooked meal.
I did not speak. I walked up to him in my mind
and asked friendly like, "Have you a dog
named Rollo?" and left.

Leslie, Thank you! I am glad you like my blog.
I am truly fascinated by the grocery store and the people in it.
Although I am not particularly a poetry person, this is actually the kind of poetry that I like. Free meter and very descriptive. I can picture it now! That really happened? The hard part in a situation like that is not to be caught blatantly staring!
Thanks for sharing the poem, I enjoyed it.
~Squeaky

in the history of peace on earth
YES, this really happened!!!
This is my kind of poetry.
I love this poem.
IT is from my book
"Rekindling of Faith"
The whole book is about recovery from
Food addiction and coming back to life.
I hope I get it out again soon.
IT has been sitting on the shelf too long!
I am focused on The Seven Love Cures right now
and my photography.
Lots of opportunities.
I am going to write up a new blog
with an idea about grocery shopping that
I want to share.
It will be up real soon!
Keep writing.
Please send me your email, so we can stay in touch off line.
I would like to know more about you!
I love your writing!!!!
your eg
Leslie
