Here is the latest installment of Poet’s Corner, presented by the Edmonds-based EPIC Poetry Group. It started when I was 9. It was a time when new cars came in all the colors that ice cream came in. The neighborhood got in line. My older cousin Floyd, Floyd and Frankie, owned a 1958 Buick three shades of orange sherbet.
