"I am going to write a poem." I sat at keyboard, poised. Fingers pointed, a ballet-- and suddenly I grew annoyed: Tell me this is not the stuff: "get out there girl, and wag yer ass-- get yerself out of the way and let the poem pass." Poems? They are everywhere-- allow your eyes to see. Take the rhythm of the tongue and turn your thought to speech. Tell me this is not the stuff-- "Girl? Yanno this sh-tuff won't last-- get out the way of me again, and let the poem pass." "I was going to write a poem." I sat bemused at the keyboard. Fingers pointed back at me-- wagging in discord. Rage, girl--rage-- "It's not the stuff--" syllables remain the same. Remove the pen and think again-- the poetry's...enough. |

I remember this. There is something wonderful about clicking into new forums and reliving the best of the past... |
