A photograph edges worn a smile smearing through tomorrow and today edge of hair caught by wind head tilted slightly toward the ground my left hand placed so very carefully in front of my forlorn face the camera dropped slowly, slightly 'HA' yeah... I laughed! What are you gonna do about it?! You wanna know why I did? I'll tell you! I laughed, yeah, laughed, with my head thrown back all wild... shaking side to side, my throat offered up to the sky mouth all kinds of wide to warn away all persons not shaking so, I rose my hand to anyone, anyone in front of me, because everyone, not just anyone stared with those same dead eyes, as if, whoever strayed behind me wrote all answers black and white between straps of shirt on their bare chest truth strung between suspenders so I just imagined I was that motionless pictograph that wasn't really motionless at all really, I was a frozen notion wading heavily through hot pools of truth to finally weep and rest upon the shore of all the ears of the world, strung and knotted together, though, deaf as they were... ~*This was tapped out after reading so many great poems here at Passions. So really I owe thanks to all who ever posted here... Thank you, thank you very, very much.*~ www.heybroproductions.com unwindyormind VIVA LA FUNK!!!

really, I was a frozen notion wading heavily through hot pools of truth to finally weep and rest upon the shore of all the ears of the world, strung and knotted together, though, deaf as they were... ~*~ This won't go unheard... these are great lines, Christine...how often I have felt just this...only to find the feelings so well displayed here...

Whhoooo!!! I made it in Nightshade's library! I'm proud of that considering your work... Thanks everyone for the beautiful replies. I think it helps fuel me greatly as a poet to have so much encouragement. www.heybroproductions.com |

You list yourself as missong since 1999, however, with poems like this, you are going to have the world beating the bushes trying to find you. This is truly an outstanding job. Day after day I'm more confused, |
