A thousand steps along a crooked fence broken boards shattered dreams rusty nail carving in my jeans a small creek flowing underneath horses stop to take a drink a thousand steps along a crooked fence mended boards in the field of dreams a small scratch in my worn out blue jeans.

Oh Motta, I agree with you. he got us all fooled. Darn it. i thought he was just running out of idea for his you know what. But Motta, cheer up, it got \us all into a great ride. I am lovvvving it. Kick great and very passionate one, I might add.

Windy, it's so nice being fooled the way Kick did. I saw passion, I saw dedication, weakness&bravery, fulfillment and joy. All attributes of Love! We had such a good time!
Jazzy, don't be scared. Not more than I am. I'm such a... "plastic" man sometimes
That's it Kick. You used us and now you run. It's a classic. Men...
Have a good time my friend! Thank you for the music!

Hi Kickit,
I'm guessing you're on the road at the moment - stay safe!! (I'm just now getting back to responses on your Thousand Steps challenge )
I see that I actually managed to get to yours in a reasonable amount of time - but I fell far short of doing it justice...
Fabulous, fabulous poem!!!! Yet another fantastic poet, and kind to boot!!!
I came up with these first two lines and was lost on how to finish. So I put these first two lines up as a challenge to write a poem using them..it was amazing, everybody on the corner contributed to their version,I mean not one person at that time didn't contribute..this is what I came up with after reading so many others...
Glad you got a tickle out of this, that's is great, thanks for reading.
