yeah, who says this woman can’t jump? -- -- -- nope, this is not about jumping the hoop just feel like being rather cryptic somewhat mystic as I tie my shoes. . .ready to run in place, with no face I’ll play the game even though you stacked the deck (snake eyes, I lose) not seeing my desire if I have to ask for the distant star then I’m not good enough makes perfect sense to me (this is as close to the truth of the matter I gonna to get) as I slowly dribble down the court don’t be confused, you really don’t want to know just a cheap laugh at my expense nope, I’m not going to pay that bill I got my pride you know (that is all I have left) lets go. . .on with the show the shot, the shouts rings in my ears damn! my best slam-dunk rolled up ball of written words fell flat, stuck in the craw in the maw of gaping minds that are the square rectangles of triangles crammed into pi completely over shot their third eyes shoot! missed the hoop the crowd groans jump again (she soars, she scores) nose smacking hoop flat on back flaming stars shouts of awe not for me (the fireworks outside) because they don’t see the stubborn reality of wanting to be all the while I play a game of delusion just a master baiter stroking myself hook shot under the jaw, to flop on the wooden floor last gasp for air shadow in the empty space a possibility that they don’t see funny thing is no one knows the futility. . .just me ok, I’ll pick up my marbles and leave (lost one this time) darn, that third eye of mine rolled under the bleachers to be thrown out by the sweepers-- but, by the sun above tomorrow is another scarlet day I’ll be back again, to play (knowing that I will only lose) in lost hope that you will see me worthy; as I shoot! for the golden hoop . . .and the wordancer wanders off into the sunset of her mind, humming a ditty about a kitty. LOL, nothing else to do, except maybe, lay off the coffee. . .and sometimes it is rather fun to twit at oneself; puts it all in its proper perspective you know? < !signature--> "Come...dance with me, into my world of words."

This is a really interesting analogy. But I can see where you are going with it, and I think its very creative, and very true. Nice poem, I liked it. |

That's it wordancer...don't let 'em knock you down. If they do, get back up...that's the only way to survive! Nice work! I liked all the marble stuff...haven't done that since I was about 5! Thanks for the flashback!~~Jamie   I mean the opposite of what I say. You've got it now? No, it's the other way. ~Bruce Bennett |

Thanks folks, this has to be one of my most favorite (serious) fun ones, even though I was majorily twitting myself at the time. You know I didn't get want I wanted, but in the quest of that particular item, is how I became truely the wordancer...hum... Methinks, I won after all. -the laughing (at myself) Lady Wordancer. |

If I may, UP! UP! UP! *lol* I love this poem.  With a little piece of tomorrow, You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye. Because today won't last forever, And the past will only make you cry. |
