One Across

Posted on August 7, 2011 | 20 Comments

Drowsy, dusty, deepening devices
Honing and toning a phony crisis
Hoping the crows in flight entice
Before they were sliding on thin ice

Crossword puzzles becomes a blur
Archaic clues undeserved
One across, poetry deferred
Easily read would be preferred

  It would be nice. A lot of times it’s like over hearing just one side of a cell phone conversation. They should at least use speakerphone… just saying… smiles
