As you all know, Passions in Poetry forum is more like a community than any other poetry forum on the Internet. So let’s pretend for a moment that we ARE a city….

What would be your job in this community? Chief of Police? Garbage collector? Day care worker?

What about the other members? Do you see someone as the owner of a coffeeshop? A Flower Shop (I know! LOL)

How about Balladeer AND Toerag running the "Magic and Gag" shop.  

Martie of course would be the resident florist.

JM for the "HALLMARK" shop.

As for me.......I'll do the coffee shop thing as TASTE TESTER.  24 hour shifts of course.

LR, I see you as the guy who runs the Harley store...you ride 'em and sell 'em. The bad boy that all the proper ladies secretly swoon over.

No offense to Ron, but I see him more as the head of the Power Plant..he keeps everything running. (I do appreciate the thought that I could EVER be his right hand man - though I could make his life easier - and more enjoyable as his right hand - I am not into 'power' - I prefer to be in the background)

I'd run the local freak store.

Seriously, every city has a place that sells a lot of black clothing and rock band merchandise. And a place that sells lotsa candles and cool jewelry and incense. And a place that sells vinyls and other such cool things. And a place that sells figurines and comics!

Well, smush that all into one, and that'd be my store. Come to me for all your freaky needs.

Heh heh.

I've been known to turn people over to the dark side.

Freak is just my own affectionate term. In this, I am calling myself and all my friends freaks. It's just because I've found you can't shove people under goth or punk or metalhead properly, since no one's really purely any of those. Everyone I know takes freak as a compliment.

okay....let's see....I left alot of people out so here we go again.

Ron- Head of the town's museum.  Seems to me that someone needs to be in charge that pays attention to detail when it comes to priceless art and heritage pieces.

Nan- MMMMMMM...how about the local travel agent.  I think she could be trusted to find those special getaways that fit each of our needs.

PDV- I think you should be on the city council to keep things rolling when the rest of the town gets sidetracked.

Kit- mmmmmm ... owner of the local petshop who paints as a side job.

Sunshine- Sort of the Angela Landsbury of the town.

Martie-Okay....you can come out of the flower shop, but you got to promise to hire someone real good to take your place.  The cowboy always needs flowers ya know.  

Sy-yeah........I think JM placed him perfectly.

KA- How about she runs the local BRIDAL SHOP!! ROFL  Sorry kiddo.....just teasin'.
You can be in charge of the local chapter of Green Peace and PETA both.

Marge can be the school teacher for the Grade School levels.  Someone has to start them out right.

Lighthouse Bob- Well the local minister of course.

Duncan- Mmmmmmmmm...Keeper of the clock tower.......only problem is......if it needs fixin' in the morning......IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!  LOL

And since it seems that so many people want to run the coffee shop.....I guess I will have to give the Riding Club thing a go.......Ladies only of course AND "I" fit the boots on them   but I still get all the free coffee I can drink or I won't clean the stables when the wind is blowing towards downtown.

and JM if you want the butterfly house then you are gonna have to dim the flame abit before you walk in there.

Still can't decide how my presence at PiP would translate to a position in "normal" society, but Kamla should be making Milos for everyone. Trust me on this.

Of course, if that's not a viable position, she can be the resident Coat-Sniffer (Human version of a drug dog.)

Oh yes, Noah. I love the idea of owning
a Romance Novel Library of Book Store....
something like Books-A-Million with no other
books in it except books concerning Romance.

Oh, I do need some help. Would anyone
like to apply for the job? All applications
will be considered.

And, I need a name for my place. Does anyone
have a name for it?

I would run the morgue, but since we're all immortal in pipsville ( ), I'll be out of a job and will flee to the radio station to do the night shifts.   And pretend I like drinking coke, but it's actually mountain dew in a coke can.  

OR I can be the town poker and...poke people...

(smiles) I've always seen you, dearest Karilea, as someone with so much hospitality and comfort, while also strong-spirited, and I have been to bed and breakfasts before and I always see that kind of spirit in those who run those places!



I don't mind at all your request, poetry feeds the soul and it's quite a fair reward on a poets part to be fed in return!

Karilea, I love the idea of having to recite for food at your B&B.

Do bands ever perform at book stores? If so, the LIV Bugs are welcome to perform.

And, I don't know if I mention that there is a large section in my store where there is nothing but romantic poetry.

Since my store is growing so much, I might need a musician full time....Noah, would you like the job?

Noah, that is soooo uncanny! I just read that you thought I could be a Day Care teacher by day, and an Undercover Angel by night!

Well, I did teach in a Day Care for awhile!--and there are more police detectives in my family than you could shake a billy stick at! I have learned so much about detective work that I should become an honorary detective! lol

I think that you should be our resident spiritual teacher by day, and at night you could give free concerts to showcase your talents and to entertain us all at the same time!

Love you, Dear Teacher/Entertainer!

Another song, non-depressive? Hmm...

Flower jumpin!

I like to jump in flowers!
Tickle tulips for hours.
Their pollen gets in my brain
and I go insane --

the colors of the flowers
blind my sight for hours.
I can smell their reek.
I love to play hide 'n' seek

within the smelly flowers.
They take away the hours.
And leave me with a cold.
These flowers made me old!


Wow .... what a crappy song.
