Incurably Human It isn't so much of a surrendering or an acknowledgment of some intellectual reasoning to accept this disease that infests every fiber and cell of my body making me less than my dreams forcing me to hope for more than I can ever achieve…. It is however learning to live with being incurably human and the wonderful possiblities that present themselves upon me. Robert ------------------ if you can dream; you can fly...if you are flying; you are dreaming. |

RobertB, I hope you never recover from the disease. May it be a life long malady!  I hope it's contagious? ------------------ Yesterday is history, tomorrow just a mystery. And if today is good to me how could I ask for more? |

Now, don't be upset..but, I'm not much ob free verse. Not that I don't appreciate it, or like many of them. I just don't "feel" them most often. EXCEPT when I read a poem such as this. Wonderful work here, Robert. |

Now, just wait a minute Robert, lazy way? I say nay!, oh okay, maybe you're right, lazy dazy but not crazy, not yet. I enjoyed the poem and I think I caught the disease. |

It would be inhumane to deny you this right. I propose that we take down the QUARANTINE signs and let the disease run rampant. RobertB... this disease resembles me. I'm coughing with spasms of delight. ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Philosopher??? OH NO is that a symptom of something?? Let me check my pulse here... ok temperature is alright.... man I am hypochondraic or what?? RB PS: Elizabeth, maybe you better ask Frigidaire if they care about poems being there on their fridges ------------------ if you can dream; you can fly...if you are flying; you are dreaming. |
