Exceptional A common saying many years ago. Between You, Me and the Gatepost by Barry Penfold No Rules Poetry Contest contest entry Artwork by cakemp55 at FanArtReview.com

Between you, me and the gatepost How often said and heard A statement made in confidence The closely guarded word The knowing look, the elbow nudged The eyelid closed; to wink. All these gestures~ facial signs The common ,binding link A friendly ear~a kindly tongue In things that matter most A secret shared between two friends And the ever silent gatepost. Recognized Author Notes Gates and gateposts were common many years ago. They were very often the place to meet and talk. A record of those conversations remain with the gatepost.
