There are times we ask why. Like the old yellow dog that sniffs at base of oak Then turns to return to a softer bed Than old leaves now brittle I find I am softer. Winter cold brings more ache And I am reminded by the silence Brought on by fallen leaves That alone does not mean atoned Nor do the passing years Add up to wisdom Perhaps it is time In that asking For me to answer more Than just The Odysseun “I got lost after the war” I am not the yellow dog after all But have spent much time Simply being A cur |

Brought on by fallen leaves That alone does not mean atoned Nor do the passing years Add up to wisdom Weather you know it or not, you wrote that one for me....not meaning it as an insult, but good advice... This entire poem, reached out to me in many ways...it is very soundly written with a degree of comradeship...a ship with much meaning, compassed with an invisible hand of great direction... Bravo...and hello, and good Morning Happy Friday |

hmmm..Actually I see a few different writers that this could be. I think that anything you write is fantabulous, no matter who you are at the moment, but your style is uniquely you own! [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (11-14-2003 10:40 AM).] |

Hey Bud! Thanks for playing, hope it was fun for ya. Now, to your costume. Good lord, what you write, I always empathize with. So I can't help but see ME in this. But? I also see a bunch of our friend icebox here (as well as a helping of Cpat)It's that ummm "generational" flavor that we three have in common. I'll just say that if you have tried on my jeans, I am most flattered. And if not, I still see "me" reflected here. Ed |

Ed.. was your jeans I tried to put on... and poorly I fear... but I have always enjoyed your words and related to them.. as for the Icebox influence..lol.. yeah it is in there too... or supposed to be.... hope it was not too big an insult sir... for it is indeed a poor reflection of your own style... |

"And I am reminded by the silence Brought on by fallen leaves" ~ Captain, the above lines are especially memorable. You have a whole lotta talent under your hat! Huggums, EA |

Capt. Ron, like some up there I thought you were doing yourself at first...then the more I got into it, it DID look like you were wearing Ed's jeans....then with the last verse, you were clearly clothed with Ed.... Yep, you look good in Ed's jeans.....LOL |
