Powder Burns I fall upon my limp ad-lib To help me write this poems glib But find I climb a greasy pole That rises out an endless hole. Words should build upon themselves Like fantasy and fairy elves Should cover all extremities With out a prayer upon your knees. Build a place of solid core That occupies an upper store To fill the mind with thoughts of rhyme That lends surcease to passing time. But I am often tied a block And sink through water like a rock. Serendipity sits my face And Puck is doubled in grimace I find myself nonplus in air And often thoughtless in a stare While up ahead I see a bend Yet I will run until the end. And I will write no matter what And on my tombstone leave a dot. |

Sy In the catch of your stare there is more than just despair for truth and whimsy wander by and in your words a twinkle eye. |

this was such a delightful read...the images were superb and smile producing a greasy pole in an endless hole...LOL priceless! Whether on the shoal or on the shore, I'll seek the lighthouse evermore. p.s. It makes me think of what my mother wrote in my autograph book when I was in the 4th grade: My love for you is in the shape of a lizard, it runs down my heart and tickles my gizzard. If I had a gizzard, you'd have tickled it. [This message has been edited by VAS (08-14-2002 11:28 AM).] |

Seymour darling heart and painter with the moons light, you write in such a way that your truth shines the wisdom and the grace with which you fill your poems is breathtaking. You take the truth mould it into a concept, a well thought out idea and presents it as the answer to which souls seek. That you could do this once would be wonderful that you continue to shine a light into the murky depths of a heart is nothing short of a miracle. Because of you there are souls that had lived in darkness and now see light, because of your words, confused and sorrowing souls will now understand that in giving they are saved. Is it any wonder that I proclaim your writing special? Is it a surprise that I say you are truly a WRITER? No it is not darling heart, because you are and I simply reflect the opinion of the masses. If I am biased, and I know I am, I probably am harder on your writing than any other. I know it’s going to be good, I expect it will knock me out, so when it consistently shines clear and bright I give praise where it is due. This is superb writing, the flow the structure are all exquisite, and as for the content darling heart it is simply perfect. Do I LOVE it, I think the answer would have to be yes. I LOVE IT UTTERLT UTTERLY UTTERLY.  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy   Breathe through the heat of our desire |

And I will write no matter what ================================= You will already know why that line is the only line in this poem that my mothy eyes read...and is the reason I am smiling as I type this. Its gonna take a lot more than writers block to keep you and Randy from penning poetic perfection... OH and....about those "limp ad-libs" Not a chance... Randy wouldnt hear of it. LOL *WINKIEWINKIE* If all the tear drops went to heaven |

*yawn* you write in the morning? My day starts a tad later than most I guess. Well there will be no perfection of punctuation from you yet Mr. Tabin you hear. This was yet another of your jewels a plenty and oh how I loved and know these lines well... find myself nonplus in air And often thoughtless in a stare (smooches to you) and a hug to Isabel too! I pass this way but once, here's hoping I meet you. |
