Rages of Sages  Oh the rages of sages written on pages with fonts full of rhyme and image of time the musings of poets in magic they show it with fantasy art which flows from the heart and feelings from soul in intimate scroll scribblings of mind with passions entwined of real and of dreams of giggles and screams which jump from the pages of sages with rages ~ Lyra copyright2002 Lyra Nesius "poetry is life distilled" Gwendolyn Brooks [This message has been edited by Madame Chipmunk (06-18-2002 08:28 PM).] |

Lyra, even I don't know what I am thinking when I look at the art work - I know what you are saying, I understand that, but this one touches deep, and I guess the profound feeling I have will simply have to be expressed as a mere thank you, not enough, mind you, to share with you the feeling I have for this...but it will have to do until I find more... |

Lyra, you have pretty well nailed it. I think most of us have experienced most of each moment, emotion, feeling that you have here.... Only you could pen it this well... |

Lyra, I just love reading your words and of late the pictures you add enhance them so much. God bless you for your talent. Marti " My wrinkles are badges of courage and reveal that I am a Mother." |

Julie...Thanks so much for your reply.. This one was so much fun to write. Usually I write them over and over...and I let them sit overnight and read them again in the morning before I post them because I always have tons of changes to make. I write them and then I re-write them until they're perfect..... but this one, just rolled right out of my head and I posted it as it was... I'm glad you liked it.  ~ sagely hugsLyra |

Thanks so much, Paul...these words actually rolled right out of my head...believe it or not. Usually, I write and then re-write my poems over and over again before posting them... I have whole notebooks filled with poems and sometimes one poem will take six pages of re-writes just for a subtle change... but this one...just rolled right out. I'm glad you liked it. ~ hugs to another poet-sageLyra |

Thanks so much, Karilea...I'm glad you enjoyed the poem...it is probably one of my favorites of my own also... the picture is one which I got from...Webshots....I think, or someplace like that. I don't know exactly what it means either...but I thought it was a cool picture and represented to me...abstract thinking. Incidentally, I discovered, after writing this poem...that Webshots has a whole category called "mind scribbles" just like in my poem....but their "mind scribbles" didn't seem to go with this poem.  ~ sagely raging poetic hugs Lyra |

Thanks Nancy, for pointing that out... I wrote it for fun, but after reading your reply, I read it again...and I think you're right, its a bit mystical...but it was totally by accident... ~ mystical hugsLyra |

Thanks so much, Mr.Squirrel... I have been back for a while now... Since the second week of May...after I finished being burned by radiation. I think we just kept missing each other because of posting at different times...and I know you were away for a while also. I might be away for a few days again next week because I'm having another biopsy on Monday, and if I'm in a lot of pain, I'll be gone for a few days...otherwise I'll be back sooner BTW....at last check, the cancer was gone...this biopsy is to confirm it....and I am so scared to get the results...and I will have to wait a whole 8 days for them....... Please say a prayer for me...... ~ sagely rodent hugsLyra |

Thanks so much, Jeff... In my heart and in my soul, I know the cancer is gone...I have tried to visualize it and I can't see it anymore... but I am still very very scared...not of the surgery itself, this will be my third one like this....but of those results for which I must wait a full 8 days...... thanks so much for your prayers and thoughts. ~ thanking you hugsLyra |

Thanks so much, Eric...Its so funny how this one just rolled right out of my brain... I didn't even have to make any changes... that almost never happens. Usually, I edit my poems to death before I post them. ~ lots of hugsLyra |

Thanks for your reply, Martie... I know I have missed some of yours also and also some of the other poets whom I try never to miss....but its very hard because there are so very many of us here... I hate it when I miss a couple of days and then I have to scramble to catch up and read all of the beautiful poetry I've missed. I missed being here, during the entire last month of my radiation treatments because I was so sick....and I missed everyone so very much. One night, David brought his laptop computer into the bedroom for me to use in bed, but I was so exhausted, I couldn't even read anything. When my treatments were finished and I was still tired but getting stronger, he actually brought my whole computer into the bedroom for me to use because he didn't want me to have to come in here and sit in my computer chair....and it was so wonderful to be back here. I hope I never have to leave again...but of course, everyone has times when they have other things to do.... It looks like I'm chattering a bit much here... so I'll just say...thank youu. ~ thanking you hugsLyra |
