The Sky is Falling |

The Sky is Falling Vinegar swells my tongue unkind And the fires smoke, makes me blind. And I feel my way through the day And stumble over wits dismay. I shout but no one hears my call And many times I trip and fall And when I stand and start again I stand before a wall of when. And I don’t know the when or where It’s why I cry and why I dare. It’s why I seek a path to find To stop the swell and cure the blind Some say they know the when and where. Those prophecies that they declare But I don’t need some fifty wives For that I’d need some fifty lives. I rather live my little rhyme Within my Eden’s given time |

this is superb Sy....(yanno, you have to quit writing all this deep wonderful poetry, all of us are running out of adjectives to compliment your great work....and fifty wives?...Good grief! Could ya imagine 50 wives, all with PMS at the same time?...and, if I had 50 wives with that problem, it would be "50 wives all on the "rag" at the same time...boy, I'd be "ragged" out quickly don't ya know.... |

God bless you Mr. T.---and I know He does! This was a wonderful write. I enjoyed it immensely. P.S. For three days prior to 9/11 I kept saying "The sky is falling. The sky is falling." It was the weirdest thing. My friends and family started calling me "Chicken Little". I also turned on CNN, instead of my usual Canada Am, each morning during those three days. I knew there was going to be something shown on CNN that was going to be of great import--and unfortunately I was right. I saw the second plane hit as it happened. I then realized why I kept saying the sky is falling and why I was to watch CNN those mornings. Tragic. May your day be full of joy! EA |

Seymour darling heart, see me trotting in here to drink deep from your cup of poetic wisdom, this is utterly utterly utterly perfect. I try not to miss you if I can possibly help it. Tomorrow though will be my last trip in here before I’m off to see you all. And it will be wonderful. Drop silent thoughts into my mind And take me to that place of find Where release and discovery Are waiting there to entice me Where dreams are held in smiling eyes A place where truth wears no disguise Please take me to that place divine Where time is held in a poet’s rhyme In dreaming thought and silent sigh Fly me to the place of why Come into the deeps of my soul Where truth is my heart’s only goal I shall really miss you though, my day will seem a little empty without a Sy surprise served daily. You’ll have to bring me a whole week’s worth of the ones I’ve missed. And I’ll share them with all the others particularly Krissy and Keth who love your writing as much as I do Love and warm stuff As always Mushy Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Sir Sy....I like this poem and this piece of it in particular...too true.... Some say they know the when and where. Those prophecies that they declare But I don’t need some fifty wives For that I’d need some fifty lives. |
