 Uploaded with ImageShack.us when I sit down at the quills facsimile the keyboard, its modern day cousin I hear the ghosts of poets' past they seem to be, one and all coming to terms with hi-tech terminology and its value to keep alive poetical expertise it's as if they are preparing me for factual fictions, untruths, and doubts obscured full of meaning inside man's ambiguity I hearken to the will of these ghosts and begin to type out these heralded meanings but the only key I see to strike is the ???????? ©February 20, 2012 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Sometimes people hide behind the ambiguities because the alternative of being seen is too scary. I know I do that. I have a lot of writings that will never be posted because they are too selfishly obscure and I don't want anyone to try to figure them out. I do relate to what you've written. Good morning to you |

Hi Nicole. I know you are right, and that we hide behind ambiguities, but I have, within the last year at least, tried to break loose from that dark corner. I am making progress, yet, like you, there are still poems I have written that will never see the light of day because they scare even me. I like to say that I have thrown off all of my shackles, but the truth remains they are still in place, albeit not quite so tightly as they used to be. Thank you for continuing to support my writing. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
