like putty in your hands life begins the words come each precise and definite complimenting the whole or shock value to be mischievous such is the talent of the bard such is the world of words even made-up ones are allowed as you build couplets from the heart much leeway is to be had constructing word jazz the words are your stage make 'em sing in free verse whatever your style you are its master not the other way build the words make yourself heard pray for 'em sweat 'em out shock 'em til they blush cherry red treat 'em with kindness shove a tongue down their throat give 'em what they like ride 'em hard just take charge and write the poem I am not poet I just write poems a poet laureate I'll never be air too rarefied up there for moi wish I could glide the word though like some that I know glad I don't pen poems like some famous one I've read when it's all said and done it is you your words and what's inside . . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(&#!$! |

Words to live by in these halls of blue. They'll never be the best These words I spill But that's not my quest It's not my deal It's just the way I cleanse my thoughts And soil the net With mental clots "We'll chase them like rats across the tundra." |

Couldn't have said it better if I tried, and of course I did try, I wrote the poem after all. Writing, I suppose is different things for different folks. At this moment I have been concentrating on poetry because my latest novel, Three Corners is almost ready for market. After that happens I will be hot and heavy on the next novel, Ouroboros: Terror in Thibodaux. Like I say, we all write for different reason. Some write behind locked doors and never allow the public to see it. People such as I, are all over the place Internet-wise. Thanks, Andrew. . . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(&#!$! |

Yep! Your name is at the top... so it must be yours.  An author of books, you say. Well, more power to ya. Me, I lack the time, effort, dedication, and general ability to write a book. Thank God (read that as any higher being you care for) there are those, such as yourself, who can take it to the next level. As an avid reader, I bow to you and yours in true gratitude. Peace."We'll chase them like rats across the tundra." |

Well, Andrew, that was my dream for many, many years. I have realized it. I haven't had anywhere close to a best seller yet. I have decided that I can write 'em, but I can't sell 'em. No matter. It's what I do. . . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(&#!$! |

Congratulations on your new book. You should put up a link so that the readers of the site will be able to access it. --- I liked your poem but find that words are often the master of me and not the other way around. Oh well, I guess I have to write more. |

Oh this is a feel good kind of poem. So introspective and full of wonderful words, and many good thoughts to ponder and take heed. Thanks for this JP...it's all good!!! |

Oh, the words are my master also, Earl, and has been for mean years. If this poem says otherwise it is only because the words allowed it. Thanks for stopping by. Thank you also Blues for sashaying by and delighting me with those nice comments. . . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(&#!$! |

"when it's all said and done it is you your words and what's inside" that's what writing is all about, True write, Jerry.  "Hardwork pays in the long run" |
