how do they do it? stand there, composed,with grace, thru the seaons, beaten up, ravaged,bloodied and bruised, twisted,empty,aching arms reaching for lost youth, pipedreams of giving birth again, empty skeltetons,empty wombs first in line, to drink the rain,the sun,the sky,the stars, the moon that shatters between, and fills in the gaps of their raped branches, all they endure, for a little ballet and dance of seduction with the wind on a hot summer night, to shake their ass, what price they pay, if only i, could stand would i dare? just for one day..... stand naked, and feel the rain wash over me, would i be clean again? the bleached blonde goddess, or fear the exposure of cellulite and brown/grey roots? |

(smiling) it is not about me trying you..it is about you trying yourself. How far will you go to take these thoughts and comparisons and turn them into understanding the implications? It is in part Zen, and in part the power inside you. |

You just reminded me to go and hug some of them, and give thanks for all that they endure and provide for a species that barely notices. Very very good job. I look foward to reading your works in the future |

it was posted once upon a time and is probably in the archives somewhere... it is the nature of things...that even after being destroyed multiple times we are renewed and each renewal though different than the last us contains beauty....and peace... no thunder stealing intended by the way... just trying to say what I can't. |

no need to bring it back.. you read it and that was all I intended..  Yes I know you like to tease... I'm sure you are quite good at it..  I took it down because it had served its purpose.... (shrugging) but thanks for asking me to put it back.... perhaps this is less obtrusive anyway... Today... white mares tails, being blown across a pale blue sky, framed at the horizon by mottled white bones of sycamores, contrasted with the grey black fingers of oak, reminding me, of Winter's beauty as I sit and stare eyes empty as the pains I look through [This message has been edited by Cpat Hair (12-13-2002 03:32 PM).] |

Inked I'm sitting here thinking of fitting words to say how much I love this poem, all i could think of is, you rule. Crude yes but what can I say that I haven't already told you before about your poems. Grit and heart and I love every one of them raph |

ahhhh, you've captured my favorite style to perfection...raw and earthy--and you made me think...and think--excellent! "And it was at that age...Poetry arrived in search of me...And something started in my soul." |
