Footprints I’ve left behind…
birth certificate @ Mary Immaculate Hospital
baby shoe prints in the Woodhaven grass
bike tracks in the alley
roller skate wheels on the black top
saddle shoes off to school
Ring-a-levio on 90th Street
double-dutch jump rope
senior prom pumps
nun shoes in Litchfield
mom shoes in Port Washington
old lady shoes in Hudson NY
magic shoes for children’s writer

(My poem for Laura Purdie Salas’s Fifteen Words or less Poetry Post)
slashed by winds
pummeled by rain
tickled by birds
eaten by bugs-
eyes grow wise.

in Family Tags: bought a Swedish chair, fancied flying round, grandson popped on top, halt a flop, hung wings, sets up everywhere, stool to fool the ground, take-off
Oliver prepares for take-off
I bought a Swedish chair
That sets up everywhere:
A stool to fool the ground.
My grandson popped on top
Hung wings to halt a flop:
Fancied flying round!

Slurp! slurp!
See those pigeons poop and pee where they will…
Flit and fly
High and bye…
Peck me free
I’ll guard your eggs
Groom your legs
Worship you forever!

Colleen Marshall Tougas
June 17, 2014
There is entertainment in the Owner’s Bar and Lounge of the Marriott Custom House every eve at 8:30. Two nights ago we were spellbound by a Spanish guitarist: D’Raphael Gitano (bought 2 of his CD’s) and then last night were able to record Steven Higg’s on keyboard and the singing of Colleen Marshall Tougas.
They honored every audience request and even accompanied one of the owners who sang a Sinatra tune.
This is the only time-share in the city of Boston and it changed my life.
