The Richness Of

I'll miss the joining of each word
The breakaway from what is heard
The pleasure of the feelings' share
The windows blue, my solitaire

The greener side is calling me
The more of "all" I wish to be
Between the lines of softer touch
The now begins, releasing crutch

For life is reaching out at last
Tossed and turned for these years passed
Withdrawal will be hard to tame
Yet with it goals become my aim...

And so as clouds begin to part
And storms' relinquish, allowing start
Of something new, though I depart
You all remain within this heart.

M

that is like saying, you should not be here, but you are here anyway

then I suppose when it comes to interpretation, there are many ways to see what is being said, even if not intended to be made in that form of statement

a poet who cares

what's being said is: on Monday I start 70 days straight of working and more than likely will be too busy and or tired to be on here much even though I would like to be.
So the "need" and crutch that the internet once was for me will be easing as the outside world takes me over. And I will miss the time I share.

I would just like to add that I saw "The windows blue, my solitaire", as relating to the pages of PIP

and this is a beautiful combination of words as to how they do speak above.

I hope my previous comment did not offend anyone, for we see from our own eyes, no matter what understanding there is

I like your poem ... and I don't know - aren't these blue pages kind of soothing.  Maybe sometimes in the midst of that hectic schedule, you can come in and just let the blue cover you.  And, the poetry will be here waiting for you.

What a warm, wonderful place to be

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Poet, yes the "windows blue" are pip  but also the times when feeling "blue" and being here can help that.


aziza..you've got mail...

yes, this is a very soothing place...but I will need to spend more of my time elsewhere for now

And "I"  I am finding my way again..and it is about time

Big smiles and encouragement to you as you venture out into the work force and may your working hours be most beneficial and equally pleasant as you move steadily ahead my poetess friend.

God bless.

Thank you Bob, I appreciate your thoughts and good wishes. I just needed the right opportunity and couldn't pass it up.

M,

And you will be much missed here, after all this time.
I have been a regular fan of your poetry, even though in recent months I haven't had much to say (but that is another story).
I hope this situation works for you.  Maybe you could drop by now and then to let us know how well it is going.

All the best!

Thanks Kraw... I have been taking a few courses to re-certify, and hopefully once this temporary teaching job is over I will have a permanent one.
I will certainly be peeking in..but probably will be too busy for at least 2 months to find the time to write poetry (I remember how tired I was at the end of last year's subbing)
*by the way you have been missed...

I am never here as much as I wish I could be either Maureen, but it's always nice to get back in to visit with old friends now and again in the pages of blue.

I hope this yesr brings you many, many wondeful joys and opportunities.  Hugs, be well, and be in touch.

Best of luck
But don't stop writing.
Even if its just a few lines jotted down at night, or something quick and witty jotted on the newspaper in the morning..
Don't stop.
If your soul thrives on poetry,don't starve it.
Take Care!!

Good luck, Maureen!  I'm sure you will be back when you have the time and inclination - there's something about "blue" that attracts.

At the same time teaching those kids who need a good teacher in their lives. Good luck.Drop back from time to time. martyjo

bump!

dreamdc, I won't stop writing...but I know I will be very busy until I get the "hang of it" and probably will be reading for school rather than for pure pleasure. Thank you

Helen, Thanks I know I will be reading  everyone when I have a moment's free time.  

Thanks martyjo ...I still have one course to complete in my "spare time" before teaching full time once this temporary job is over. Increase in pay???  *Laughing* actually it will be being paid regularly for the first time in years...well at least for the next 12 weeks.

Kraw, thanks for the bump and the words of wisdom...
I won't sink...but because I can't really swim well I will work harder at surviving and succeeding

Thank you again...

In understanding this, you have my warmest thoughts and wishes for great strength and the resolve that goes with that job. Those young ones will be lucky to have the likes of you in their lives. Don't forget to eat your wheaties.

Thank you Kacy...
I am a bit excited about my first day today...and I received my summer course grade in the mail this weekend and was happily surprised to get an "A" especially since I hadn't written term papers (or what they call "reflection" papers today) in over 30 years.

Hope you have a good day
