The shortest distance
between solace and me
routes a course of plastic cast
divinity,
no pause in the waking,
need prejustified,
little matters little
of cost and the like,
always requesting Peter
remedy Mary and Paul,
all is always naught
and matters not at all

When in the end
it’s all spent
on a lunatic's souvenirs
and the shortest distance
between solace and me
is further
than it appears

no pause in the waking,
need prejustified,
little matters little
of cost and the like,

Melts in your mouth not in your hands, the divnity I mean.
But finding solace is a very personal souvenir,
and something we can hold on to.  

You're such a wonderful poet, ya goob!!

all those novelty ashtrays!

     ... an oasis with palm trees and dancing girl .. ????


             ... well thisis most definitely a souvenir!!!

   nice to read you ...

Now this is the perfect way to wake up!  

Solace is over rated the way it comes and goes is just a tease!

I have missed your writing...always gives me something to ponder.

Love ya madly Dunc!

I want to thank each of you more than I can really say.  And a special nod to a certain dear witch who in her own sweet, fruit loopy way, inspires many.    
It's good to be back on the porch...

My my my, I feel like it's Christmas...

thank you my sweet, sweet, buddy!

lunatic's souvenirs...as I glance around my room, methinks you may well be a remote viewer, too.

Come to think of it, two years ago, just before Christmas, a puppy showed up on my porch.

I didn't let that one go either.



Love you!

Well this was awesome, and the fruit loop is dancing a dance of "Gleeeeee" as we speak!  She has got the ball rolling again I think, and even I shall give it a shot for the sake of a witch in distress. Anyone seen that darn muse?

Loved this Dunc, and great to read ya again.

Dunc,
Had to pop in before I run and say how good it is to see you here. And ditto the Bluesy girl.

BluesSerenade,
How I miss you so. Email me some time, ya' goob.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

and yep, I's making rounds again, when I can read slower, for full appreciation.

And Dunc? I'll be damned, but yanno what came to mind with this?

"I don't care if it rains or freezes
long as I have my plastic Jesus
ridin' on the dashboard of my car...

I'll go ninety miles an hour
long as I have that plastic power
ridin' on the dashboard of my car...ar."



I'd credit the author, but at the present time it's beyond me. Just know that I have habit of belting that out without warning, much to the annoyance of anyone in hearing distance.

But hey? It makes 'em put some music on.

(We should sing duet some time.)

The gig's up m'porch puppy--the rhyme, yanno?

It's time to write a minuet, por moi. *laughing*

*hugs*

Don't be a stranger, or I'll have to come singing AT you.

The shortest distance

divinity,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
always requesting Peter
remedy Mary and Paul,
all is always naught
and matters not at all

When in the end
it’s all spent
on a lunatic's souvenirs
and the shortest distance
between solace and me
is further
than it appears

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

well well..... yaya  

very clever word play here Dunc...
loved the symbolism ya used to ask the questions and create/define the conflict...and its interesing how much intellectual depth you could cover while maintaining your signature succinctity.

I could have saved ya all the poetic pondering though? ...
the shortest distance to solace?
tis the fastest route to the creek. yaya
or maybe the coffee pot. yayaya

I'll bare the brunt of your long buried pain
I don't mind helping you out ...
But I want you to remember my name

I was wondering when I would read you again

If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.

Because it just seems like that kind of a day...

and because I do remember Duncan...   Just needed to look more slowly.
