Poems From Bard to Versenette
featuring Mel Wade's award winning Poems
Northern Exposure
Many years past while constructing my dream
(A place on a lake, complete with a stream)I busily worked on my cottage abode
When, feeling an urge for an indoor commodeI was suddenly struck as I answered the call
That winter had followed a beautiful fallBut the weather outside was between nippy and numbing
And we had no provision for interior plumbing.My neighbor, with foresight, had thought to provide
A primitive privy, thirty-six inches wide.In my haste, I observed no half moon on the door?
In fact not a door, nor even a floor.But only a roof barely covering a hole
With a nail as a hook, providing a roll.I was chilled as I sat in this partial enclosure
But thrilled at the view in my northern exposureFor as I sat among pines nearly five stories tall
Though partially numb, feeling no pain at allI remembered an ad which once was in favor--
"If it hasn't a hole, it isn't a Lifesaver.""Northern Exposure" has recently been published
in a book called "The Best Poetry of 1998."
