I like it – it’s succinct and reminiscent – I think it needs the other side or perhaps other sides of those who held that promise and where it took them.
Interesting thought, Gay. Thanks!
oh, wow, i went to visit my high school friend the other week and we just HAD to go to friendly’s!!!

Our Friendly’s is no longer there, sadly. 😦 Did you ever just get coffee there? That was kind of a high school “thing” — to go someplace that was known for one thing, but get something else.
i don’t drink coffee. we had dinner and then sundaes.
when i was pregnant with my older son, i had strawberry fribbles there all the time.
I miss Friendly’s! They made a big push into Ohio, where I mostly grew up, but they’ve since retreated. I never did get the Wattamelon Roll. I think I had a slice once, but never a whole thing for some event.
oh wow…so short but you capture the whole world of possibilities that such moments bear…so cool marilyn
Belated thanks, Claudia!
I like what Gay and Claudia commented…I just like the way it hangs there opening wide a range of possibilities.
Thanks very much, Dawn! I wanted it left open at the end, so I’m glad you picked up on that.

Good to have old friends..good friends.
Indeed!
It would have been 1983 for me and everything was possible. Perfect image and word choices.
Thanks so much, LaTonya! Didn’t you feel so grown up, going out for coffee with your friends and talking about all those possibilities — or, sometimes even better, just feeling them, not even talking about them?
Great array of possibilities to connect in such a short peace, which is something I attribut to masterfull creations.
Thanks so much, Oloriel!
The simplicity of the words, reflect that high school state of mind, and adventures were just ahead. And I know how complicated making it look simple can be.
Thanks, Nara! Yes, that was a great, open time — even though back then, I thought my parents never let me do anything. 🙂
Yes, I love the possibilities left open, here, in these words. A tiny universe revealed.
Thank you, Kelly! I was going for that high school feeling, when anything seems possible.
Coffee and friends to do just that, Marilyn. Nice concise poem.

Thanks very much, Pamela!
Good, classy and very evocative – I will be back for more…. With Best Wishes Scott http://www.scotthastie.com
Thanks very much, Scott!
One can face anything…once they’ve had their coffee of course! Even better when sharing with a friend! Brief but nicely captured.
Thanks, Ginny! And you’re right — both coffee and friends enhance coping skills.
love this, thanks for the smile 🙂
Thanks, Yelena!
yes, I love this!!!
