If Nothing...a Survivor Gainfully employed once again He asked when I could start Stomach growling with hunger Nonetheless I thought Just one more day of poetry And purple crayon cocktails Peanut butter on a spoon Reading others midnight ramblings Just one more silent afternoon Cool darkness of my study And I will face the world again This I need to ready I hadn’t counted on The cable and electric man Each with keys to halt my world Readily in hand Accosting me together To disconnect my link From my life, my only sanity To this land of poets ink I will make it here, ultimately If nothing...a survivor What price I’ll pay I have no clue A loser and a writer Speak when you are angry--and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret...Laurence J.

Hang in there! A new link is coming via a NW breeze. Take care. Wonderful poetry. "I am not now that which I have been." |

Oh ouch. Do you, by chance, ever listen to Sarah McLachlan or Jann Arden? You remind me of their music at times...... That's meant as a compliment! Nothing like a quiet evening, a glass of wine and reflecting on life with either one of them.  "I can't remember if I'm the good twin or the evil one."
