Perhaps we should just let it lie, let it die a natural death. Perhaps we should not even try resuscitating every breath. There is no life, what’s done is done and no sun, no light, just air pressured by the last gasp run that keeps us operating there. Artificially alive, with no soul, no sense of whole, to lift us up and from the bitter dregs the bowl is cracked and shattered with the cup. This passionate course a dish once served is now reserved and cold as well. We meet and share through time that’s curved we’ve passed through death and this is hell. No resurrection in this place this race is lost and we are done. We see it in the dismal space of winnowed numbers from our run. So, perhaps we let it lie let it die out naturally give in, give up and never try to bring back spoken poetry. a good commitee can decimate communication. |

KethryGal~ 'give in, give up and never try to bring back spoken poetry.' OH NO !!! I'm not canceling my weekend appearance !! Loving the new smile on your face and the joy of seeing you here posting~ Now ... as a 'not-so-dead-poetess' ... I'm combining spoken poetry with the book sales ... soooooo, I'm either dying for success ... or successfully dying !!  Bill is turning out his mini-guitars by the hundreds ... and they are selling like crazy~ He is still honored that one rests on your shelf !! Love ya' lady~ *HUGLETS*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Nah...this is April! Poetry month! And I've been blessed to hear Robert Hershon and Amalia Ortiz... with more to come before the month is over. Dead? Poetry is not dead, dear friend... nor should you ever let it be so! |

Well... that depends. *S* You know you had to do my speaking for me even when I would have loved to speak for a friend... However much I like words, I like hiding more... so if spoken poetry depends on my voice, we're out of luck. *S* However... I have ears... and they love getting a workout. *S* Beautiful work! |
