Just a ramble, nothing more. C Anticipation ©2002 C.G. Ward if I were to take a swing at the imagery of Anticipation: I’d have to write a book, The Book. or, perhaps even a poem… maybe take pictures of a child pressing her clean forehead to glass windows where potential awaits a smile in the form of red ribbons and silk wrapping. maroon – to change the past, one must first ignore the future; take two pills of apathy, and call me when you’ve grown out of your innocence. more though, it would be a swirl of colours glancing through the impatience of… something. I forget just what right now. could be that it’s ablaze in my eyes - bleeding embers like the chase of words around a virtual board of congregating intellectual wannabes. grey – when nighttime beckons on the periphery of fornication, where angels and demons dissolve into a conundrum of intoxicating acronyms, laughing at the pain of separation from a deity who no longer exists. what’s that song you liked so much? remember? the one by that guy in that one band, you know – the one, who looks a lot like someone that used to be important. oh yeah, he died last year didn’t he? too bad, I might have liked the sentiment If I could have understood the words. blue – perfect eyes seeking a perfection that exists only between pages 122 and 124 of a novel that’s half fiction, half desire, and all-encompassing in its arrogance; if one were to presume assumption, that singer would have fit flawlessly in this nightmare. but, after the preceding chapter, because pain before love would seem… redundant. green – once more, to challenge the might of a titan, he rendered her mute with the emotions of a thousand-year search… from the wrong side of the world, and the opposite end of maturity. see, I remember when I first decided, and you suggested a remedy for involvement – a chase and chaste participation; the heady eddy of self-deprecation billowing in the cast of an artist’s vision. I remember, but I don’t recall… the anticipation is still too bright. [This message has been edited by Christopher (04-30-2002 05:36 PM).] |

you should ramble more often There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. |

A most concise ramble it is... you should let go a little more often  |

Christopher~ this is a striking revelation a book, a poem of colors in every brightness they represent but is it the anticipation you are seeking or the true colors they, themselves form? so very well written leaves much for the imagination to explore….well done sir…. Lauren~ ~Sinking fast into |

And as always your vocabulary and language mastery is impressive. yeah...much more than a ramble..... So? would ya humor me and write one in rhyme (ask Karen for a vial) hehe later-poet-gator mothyme ... and I don't know why ... |

 Hmm..you HAVE to be joking me! EIGHT replies? DAMN! This goes back up as long as I'm around! This took my thoughts all over. Each path change was smooth like I never ventured off the first. Was it meant to take me in a lot of directions? **shrugs** I don't know. I do know that there is really no way I can express to you how much I LOVED this. My favorite part (and choosing was difficult) "green – once more, to challenge the might of a titan, he rendered her mute with the emotions of a thousand-year search… from the wrong side of the world, and the opposite end of maturity." Yep. I'm glad you're writing here again. *Jenn* How grave is my condition, for I cannot find the words to say, I need you so. |

You know hon, this reminds me of an unframed picture I have...(it's ridiculously Post Modern too heh)..called Televentre by Victor Brauner (unframed cause I can't afford it yet ~rolling eyes~). It's a collection, a medley, a motley of ideas, thoughts encompassing a 'theme' yet it doesn't seem to wind itself up, to end. Classic PM - mucking with the ideas of beginning, middle and end. The more you look/read, the more you see. This is NOT all over the place...absolutely not. Maybe it could do with tightening, but that's about it - yeah, do what Karen said - more like this...series or not. Ok? You have your orders Sir...oops, did I say the wrong thing? I still can't believe you put 'perfect' and 'blue eyes' together..snicker. What were you thinking? Oh, more delusions, right... Bits I love, even though it's almost dangerous to separate bits of this out, I still will: maybe take pictures of a child pressing her clean forehead to glass windows where potential awaits a smile in the form of red ribbons and silk wrapping. I forget just what right now. could be that it’s ablaze in my eyes - bleeding embers like the chase of words around a virtual board of congregating intellectual wannabes what’s that song you liked so much? remember? the one by that guy in that one band, you know – the one, who looks a lot like someone that used to be important. oh yeah, he died last year didn’t he? too bad, I might have liked the sentiment If I could have understood the words. (this segment is utterly publishable...hmmm...there are some great PM poets who write just like that, pity I can't remember their names right now). green – once more, to challenge the might of a titan, he rendered her mute with the emotions of a thousand-year search… from the wrong side of the world, and the opposite end of maturity. I remember, but I don’t recall… the anticipation is still too bright. Great ending huh? The whole is one damn fine poem. I could say you rock C, but I can't because after all, I do. EEEEHEEEEEEEEHEEEEEE... hugs you  K[This message has been edited by Severn (05-01-2002 06:08 PM).] |

I like: a child pressing her clean forehead to glass windows where potential awaits a smile in the form of red ribbons and silk wrapping. bleeding embers like the chase of words around a virtual board of congregating intellectual wannabes. (heh) into a conundrum of intoxicating acronyms (heh, again, and sigh… but for something I may not know), laughing at the pain of separation from a deity who no longer exists. because pain before love would seem… redundant. Overall, confusing… and rambling, but not really in a good way… Some great lines (as seen above), but you can do better, much… Oh, and… blue – perfect eyes seeking a perfection if you care to? An lbl by e-mail would be lovely… or just a brush up on the subject matter… ~smile~ wonderful to see (know) you’re writing again… hugs |

See??? SEE??? It just doesn't work C. Meg - ain't he a twit? You don't agree that this is rambling in a good way? Do you need an intro to Post Modern too?  K[This message has been edited by Severn (05-01-2002 07:01 PM).] |

i should be in bed, but since i can't sleep, i thought i'd take the opportunity to reply to these wonderful comments. Interloper - it is and can be, or maybe it's not and shouldn't be. either way works for me! Jamie - i take that as a good thing (because it's far too bruising to my ego elsewise) so thanks! Big K - (heh) i am amazed that you would use concise in regard to this wandering. thank you, i have and will do so. Lauren - if i can take monochrome (kinda lol) letters and show you color, then i have done far more than i had hoped. as to your question (a good one at that), is there really a difference in the end? if anticipation is the sum of the colors, then if you're looking for the colors and you get anticipation (lol) you are still winning, right? thank you kind lady. Kim - Thank you as well. Midi-K - inimate is the goal, but so is misdirection... either way, if i make you think, i made you think. as to series... well, depends on how you label it, but you've already seen the next one. tell me if you think it fits. Moth Woman - not a chance! no rhyme, as rhyme is EVIL! heh. i do, however, thank you profusely for your continued support of these feeble attempts at being clever! M - thoughts are good, and thank you. it's interesting that so many like what i worried was the weakest portion of my 'ramble' thank you for appreciating it. Jenn - you get what you get and that's good enough for me. as long as someone reads it, i dont' care how they interpret it. it's the READING that's important to me, not the understanding. T - clever girl. thanks mama K - thank you sincerely for the extended reply and partial critique. we'll go more into this later, okies? as to the blue eyes - well, i just say you're jealous! M - i find it interesting (as i mentioend earlier) that you found this as confusing as you did, though i think point of reference has a lt to do with it. expectations (not negative in any way) can direct the course of any poem (bashing your brains into a typewriter for example hahahah). than kyou for the honesty, and we'll do the LBL sometime soon maybe. peace, C |

blue – perfect eyes seeking a perfection that exists only between pages 122 and 124 of a novel that’s half fiction, half desire, and all-encompassing in its arrogance; if one were to presume assumption, that singer would have fit flawlessly in this nightmare. but, after the preceding chapter, because pain before love would seem… redundant. Damn fine ramble, Christopher. I could ask for lessons. |

grey – when nighttime beckons on the periphery of fornication, where angels and demons dissolve into a conundrum of intoxicating acronyms, laughing at the pain of separation from a deity who no longer exists. Okay..the whole piece reads like a fantastic enigma to me..but I felt this one and it was large and I loved it and so forth and so on..It rambled right into my thoughts just perfectly! I so enjoy a good ramble. I anticipate more please. Sincerely, Reg |

duncan - you could ask, and i'll tell you what i've told anyone else who asks - just write what you think, write what you feel, and practice. a million words or so, and i'm BOUND to write something decent here and there. reg - thank you kind lady for the sincere replies. still - soft, warm. appreciated. peace, C |

C, anticipation is one of the most beautifully mysterious words of all time. Your ramble allowed us to roam freely around in your thoughts, if only for a brief moment, tempting and teasing a bit, leaving us in.....anticipation. Well done! |
