Midway chrysanthemums Pack visions and illumination Loneliness turns into green shade Silent dance of meditation Moving from town to town Comes away a secret Sitting on a Ferris wheel Intense and intermediate Placed on life support In a summer home Sometimes a lonely mourner Touches tragic loss Shedding soap bubble tears With bad timing Dangerous dilemmas cross Looking at the spirit of love Breaking down sexual courage Standing trial for murder Frontier women with a falcon’s heart Meeting whispers of good-bye Along spiral paths of mutual mistrust Where attitude kicks the butt of privet lives Playing tootsies with a dragon lord Surpassing origin Redneck fortitude Reproducing village idiots The turtle doves bankrupt Pouring martinis on ice Human cause sears effects Loose strings tighten up Driving visitors away Empty bed and breakfast With dead interns to pay Undercover agents Sneeze immune deficiencies With a cynical sense of humor Silencing Long Island estates Where wine shops loose identity Religious owners protest war thrillers While saying 3 Hail Mary’s Slaying sweet sorrow Unaware of the Adult Book Store Holding their daughters prisoner Heaven fights for feelings Confident in loving relations Where poverty swings on survival Finding the meeting ends Written on the wind spaceships Pretty things in the 1st person Collecting humans for final battle Political memoirs with celestial Ivy Law Grads Artifacts with great powers And so the future may look dim But where magic becomes a deadly test Every detail, every note, becomes A firestarter…and a key to higher education |

Lee I dont know where you were coming from, starting from, going from, arriving from on this. Yes - chunks of words but a rant I think. I love your words but this seemed to be right when it was started and then was storm attacked. Dave |

Outstanding, truly outstanding. Many more voices like this and such a message can't be ignored. And hope, yes straight in the eye hope, as a challenge and broad beacon to include all in its understanding. This could easily have been too overwhelming in its scope to attempt to confine in the space of a single post (and I've known and failed often in such all inclusive expression) but you've done marvelous. |

"Every detail, every note, becomes A firestarter…and a key to higher education" This is true. And you help with the education in every write you post. (But I still like to complain). Great write Lee J. JL |

I find myself on the edge of understanding this as I read..but there is always another horizon right over the hill in the next stanza...which is wonderful...your poetry is perfect for a transendental, like I think I am...it is like reading early Bob Dylan lyrics, always fresh and always a challenge.. "You lose yourself, you reappear You suddenly find you got nothing to fear Alone you stand with nobody near When a trembling distant voice, unclear Startles your sleeping ears to hear That somebody thinks They really found you." ("it's alright ma, I'm only bleeding) (Bob Dylan) ________-ice/ford ><> |
