The page is patient Content to wait on My tattoos It cares not What ink flows With ease Or angst It feels not the pain of purges or joy of jubilations It accepts all I place upon it Without judgement LGR©4/14/11 |

Are you so very sure of that, Lori, my friend? Methinks the page savors our scribbles and saves them up in order to dump them all into our final consciousness just before the old grim reaper claims us for eternity. ~ At the siege of Vienna in 1683 Islam seemed poised to overrun Christian Europe. We are in a new phase of a very old war. ~ |

I hope you're right about the "without judgment" thing. Whew! If paper could talk! I do like Jerry's reply though because he may just have something there. In any case, you've made me think twice about what I put on paper so thank you for that.Helen |

Helen if I stopped to think twice about everything I wrote I'd never get anything on paper! LOL |

I wasn't aware that you were always that sure of yourself, Lori. That must be a great way to live your life. ~ At the siege of Vienna in 1683 Islam seemed poised to overrun Christian Europe. We are in a new phase of a very old war. ~ |

LOL...and here I am, seeing both sides. When I saw the title, I thought..."The Page is Impatient"...because sometimes I hear the rustlings of blank paper just calling to me.... but if yours is patient, then that is good. Like every individual, each page is either its own master, or its own submissive. Good writing, even if I tend to agree with Jerry's take on it.   |

Jerry you called my bluff! I was just contrasting my feelings about the blank page to the feelings I had written about in another poem about the impatiently tapping cursor. I agree with your perspective too. ___________________________________________ Hey Karilea, I think we all agree...I don't think I'm always right and Jerry makes a good point. Lori |
