I was getting pretty sleepy Nearly 2 AM and Iambe Was still dancing with A fellow who I didn't know And who looked like He thought everyone should When they came in Three of them With their Saturday night Cowboy look alike smiles And bravado From too many shots Of encouragement Paid for at the last bar With wages earned Rounding up numbers Or pushing pencils Instead of cows It's really pretty easy to spot. They are usually a bit more pale And a whole lot smoother skinned Than the real thing Well smooth they were Until they horned in on Iambe Pestering her to dance I saw the end coming, So I picked up my hat And went out to start the truck It kicked over on the second try About the same time the first Of the smoothies came out the door Gasping for air. I let it idle and unlocked the door Waiting for Iambe to finish Her house cleaning [This message has been edited by Cpat Hair (edited 07-16-2001).] |

Perhaps the context is before my time here at PIP, regarding "Iambe", but RON! What's this? A poem with lots of words??? :-) Ironically, I'm toying with the idea of trying some with less, just for a change of pace! Enjoyed the visuals and wonder where this story leads... -MVS "When you tell the Truth, you never have to remember what you just said." |

Thanks Lady.. she's always around..just doesn't get out in public much Mark.. long story about Iambe, but she is a figment of some other writer, who has been traded around from poet to poet..and her tale embellished on. She is an enigma and yet as simple as today... I have a whole series I have written on her...which some of which or maybe most I have posted. If you liked you can check in forum 14 for those postings... Yeah I know.. again a lot of words.. I must be getting soft headed or something..( laughing) By all means... do try your hand at minimalism.. the music isn't the same... but it can still have a tune... (smiling) |

Did Iambe ever come home that night? Did you leave without her? Or has she gone on to another chapter? Someone was asking...thought I'd pass it on! {~,^} [This message has been edited by Lady In White (edited 07-18-2001).] |
