I recognize myself in scores
of chalkdust
and the need for more
written in the whimsical
I never needed anything
and need is something
I deplore
actuality absorbed
like I were a thing ignored
in the difference:

batting atchoo eyelashes
biting at my bottom lip
laughing as I was supposed
to be a certain kinda chick--
as if it made a difference
as if there was an attitude
of some suspense
in
all of this...

My posturing was pure nonsense.

mine-mine-mine

you were the one
spinning like a crochet thread
you pulled me like a bobbin

and

I felt my feet lift from the floor

beautiful

as I ignored
the simple silly jealousies
of every girl
and every boy
dancing 'cause I loved you more--

rhymin' simon
music scored

"To Sir"

(to sir)

with love

with love

you know that I will love you more

forever and today

adore

I trickle down the tears.

"I recognize myself in scores
of chalkdust"

THAT started it all and from those two lines I was captured and held spellbound. Abhorring the status quo and trying to be what you weren't, it all fell apart for ya. It wasn't all in sync.

This poem is personal and as such some things I cannot fathom. But I go with your moods herein, and the moods shift and whirl like the life you have lived. Great stuff.

thank you lovie--since I'm not so amused by my previous muse, I've been reworking some moldies from the archives.

If you have sound, here's a little mood music to go with it:

Jerry pretty well said it for me too.  It may go over my head at times too but it is still awsome, a beautiful thing to behold indeed.

Ah, To Sir with Love, super hit, super movie. She was wearing the style hair-do and dresses of the fifties, the whole nine yards. thanks for a trip back to "those" days.

You will always amaze me...
even though we are some years
estranged,
even stranger is that we share
so much in common.



I always heard tell that the "middle states" were about six months to a couple of years "behind" in music...yet good music surfaces year to year, so even though I'm older...I don't find it strange that you danced....To Sir.



Yep...lots to be liked, and felt, from this one.

I want to say thank you before I get distracted and forget.

This is another re-worked repost. I am discovering that I don't like much that I write, but I'm also very fickle. *grin*

I enjoyed the memory of this write, though.

So here it is. Hope you all enjoyed.



My love to you all. Especially "sir"...
