Silent Applause I see her in the Corner Pub, and I see him here as well, as this is no longer a place just for libation but for the seekers and searchers and those who have this passion for words they, the poets who are not really trying to prove a point other than their existence, not looking for fame or fortune but just sharing the thoughts of treasured terminology a lost science brought back to life with her breath and his breath and the feelings that wing on in that little café’s light can you hear it? She speaks, he speaks and the feelings emanate out and on, and touch you right…here… and you know, you know you don’t want to try to outdo them, you just want to do it as well as they did, and have your words touch someone, right… here… can you feel it? low light, candleflame shadows waxy scents of innocence belied by the way the words progress through the stillness and it’s not 1963 anymore they don’t look like hippies or yippies or strange but more like you, accomplished faces starring at the pages of yellow sheets and white pages, reading from them the made-up and/or innermost feelings to see if they have the sleight of hand to impose and pass it on to you. So the new breed is here the poets of today and we won’t click our fingers or clap when the best of words reach our ears, but instead we will look warmly at the poet and smile and our eyes will tear up once the phrases have reached our souls, and we will then smile again, and glow upon the author of the words the poets here in the Corner Pub. Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Kari love, now how often do I go to the pub, it's bad enough finding the time for Open, but the pub, and all the other one's I'd be dead in a week. (Probably less, or work would hang me up as a warning to all those others who don't respond to the bosses whips) This is utterly utterly wonderful. I really and truly love it. And never do you fail to write delight, and magic. Thank you love as always for the gift of your poetry Take care love Majestic Marsha  < !signature--> Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 01-10-2001).] |

Absolutely awesome writing and observance! Yes, there are so many poets that I want to just plain do as well as. And yes, isn't it the most important thing, to write words that touch even renew, uplift maybe even change things for the better. Isn't that the real mission of the writer. Well, of many writers anyway? |

we will look warmly at the poet and our eyes will tear up and smile once the phrases have reached our souls, and we will then smile again, and glow upon the author of the words ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SUNSHINE, this is lovely especially the above I highlighted You've captured the kinda feeling I get each time I read a poem that has touched me.... In referrence to your comment on previous post... I'm not feeling too well the past three days which perhaps could explain my reply I made (must be the antibiotics playing on me) but I do sense you know that you're a treasure of FRIEND to me and I hope I've made some kinda sense here coco |

I think you, Stan, should replace the "Karilea" with "poets unite" and post your reponse on its own merit! Well done! And thank you for reading! |
