Appalachian Writers: She Talks With Me

She Talks With Me

In the morning hours
When no one else will have me

She talks with me in dead of night
When no one else knows I'm alive

Her voice comes across wires
Loud and crystal clear
Calling me to her
Knowing I can't come

Not that I won't but can't
But that won't last forever...

Some day soon
We will sit on the porch
Each hand holding the other
And watch the sun go down

Appalachian Writers

Code of the Hills

The rules of behavior here at the Appalachian Writers are fairly simple and straightforward:

1 - No abuse or attacks on any contributor or guest will be tolerate. This is the first and only warning on that account.

2 - Nothing of an obscene or pornographic nature will be tolerated here. We want this to be a place our children and grandmothers can come to as well. We are not teetotlers and will allow a certain levity in language for stories, poems and comments, but please just use good taste and discretion.

3 - Please feel free, in fact encouraged, to comment on the pieces our contributors have offered for your reading enjoyment. If you have a criticism on a piece of work, that is fine, too. We are thick-skinned up to a point. Just make sure that your critiques are done in a way to encourage improvement in the way we write for you and not just mean-spirited poor-mouthing.

That ought to just about do it. Just behave like you would if your momma was watching, she just might be. You know how sneaky they can be!
