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. < !signature--> Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?...KRJ |

Sunshine, This is a awesome poem. Beautifully written..but, the heart it has (and gives) to be received. They know who they are here & I agree with your thoughts. I can see the ladies of The Pub dusting off a frame for this one. Excellent. Marcy |

My feelings exactly, all wrapped up in your poem to keep beside my computer, to give me strength when I can't find the right words, but just want to say it anyway. Thank-you for sharing you beautiful poem! |

Thanks, Chris. You're right...it was the flow of the words and in editing, wasn't caught. I'll ask denise to change it for me...I doubt it will mess up the context THAT much! Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?...KRJ |

Deb, I don't know how I missed answering your response, it is delightful, and I thank you for it... Dennis, now, if we could only figure out what to do with my "real" name... we are SO fortunate to have many, many talented people in all of the Forums, it is always a pleasure to come and read and sometimes, the most we can do is smile at them for the joy and experiences they lend us through their eyes, lives and words... thank you for reading... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?...KRJ |

Karilea is so lovely a name, i personally like it even better than your pen name and most lovely is this exquisite poem and tribute to all the poets here in the pub, so true that we all touch each other in profound ways, with our words and our hearts of love. Love, Ellie le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne con-nait point....the heart has its reasons that reason knows nothing of.. |

Well, I followed the link from the shameless plug in Digital Passion. And you know what? Have ye no shame, dearie, for this one should nae be silenced by societal Reapers, filleting each syllabance with a twist of their scythes. Nae! Let forth thy mighty voice, amplified from atop steel building brushing skyclouds! Let the faceless masses meandering like ants turn their palled faces heavenward, as the mana of your words slip gracefully into ear inquiring ear. *snap snap* Love it!!!!
