at times there is nothing else it becomes an affair of such improbability connecting to and introducing me to to a world a world of mine to be God-like pulling puppeteer strings murder most foul unlikely lovers chance to meet only it wasn't by chance it was by me I ruin lives foster romance and birth babies from white picket fences to despicable streets an awesome feeling to be so omnipresence nothing can compare the best whiskey a babies' kiss the love of a woman nothing can quite match it ~ Your writing is one of my guilty pleasures...more art than just words.-- steavenr ~ |

Friend, this was phenominal, I hope I spelt that right, yes, phenominal. I absolutey love it when someone can take a thought I've often swirled about in my melon and put it so succinctly into words. You done good today poet, I'm carving these words into my own conciousness for a better awareness about what we do. Thank you for that. Richard |

Lori, yes, I suppose you could say I am in love with writing, and I have been for many years. Still, it was nice of you to put it so beautifully. Thank you. Richard, thank you so much for your kind words, I appreciate it. Oh, I think it is spelled, phenomenal. ~ Your writing is one of my guilty pleasures...more art than just words.-- steavenr ~ [This message has been edited by JerryPat2 (03-08-2011 07:34 PM).] |

Thank you very much, Word Weaver, for reading and commenting on my effort tonight. It is much appreciated. Puppeteer's, Sunshine, sometimes are ruled by their puppets. Did you ever see "Magic," with Anthony Hopkins and Ann Margaret? ~ Your writing is one of my guilty pleasures...more art than just words.-- steavenr ~ |

Sometimes it takes us a long time to understand that simple truth, Trina. But you are correct, it is usually the simple things that bring happiness. Part of my happiness is seeing you here from time to time. Well, I was just speaking for myself here, serenity. Different plans for different people I suppose. Thank you for reading my poem and for being here. ~ After twelve years of therapy my psychiatrist said something that brought tears to my eyes. He said, "No hablo ingles." ~ |

I don't believe I ever caught that movie, but I know your puppets. Serenity inspired me some years back! |

Yep. The puppets are interchangeable, Sunshine. It is the ones pulling the strings which make them different. Thanks for being here. ~ After twelve years of therapy my psychiatrist said something that brought tears to my eyes. He said, "No hablo ingles." ~ |

I did enjoy this, Jerry. Yes, a world of one's own but you draw your readers in so, no, not really. Helen |

Absolutely, Helen, you write and manipulate the puppet's strings in order to give pleasure to the readers. So, we are all in this thing together. ~ After twelve years of therapy my psychiatrist said something that brought tears to my eyes. He said, "No hablo ingles." ~ |

Jerry Pat, highly ejoyed. Anais Nin said this once. "We write to taste life twice, once in the moment and in retrosepction." I think that is why I have always kept journals. At least one person got to know who I was. LOL jo |

Haha! I love the line, "At least one person got to know who I was." Anais knew whereof she spoke. Thank you for your kindness in reading and commenting on my poem. ~ After twelve years of therapy my psychiatrist said something that brought tears to my eyes. He said, "No hablo ingles." ~ |
