Anyone else?

looks longingly at he 30/30 thread and knows there just isn't enough times

I always enjoy a poem where the words are like those of every day speech, and the work retains that quality we call a poem, in this case a well-written one by Champ in Hung Over Morning

"...and worries over that man/when he don't call...

A man don't get that funk smudging up the air..."

I also like the use of the third person with the boy and the girl, which gets you wondering who the narrator is. Smart.

Thank you gm. That's a great compliment. I was writing about a real line up in a drive through at a Tim Horton's .. there were plenty of hang-over faces on January 1st.

I see what you're doing here. I can hardly wait to see what you come up with for Sunday!

I see what you're doing here. I can hardly wait to see what you come up with for Sunday!

And I'm wearing my green sweater.

Yea! I used "conundrum" in a poem, which I've wanted to.

This made me laugh. I'll get a word stuck in my head, telling me to play with it, then get distracted and forget until the next time I hear it. I should probably make a list, see how many of those I can get in a single piece. Today's word was "shard" which stuck in my head from Todski's Hine-Titama.

I read it as condom at first.

Well played King Latte.

I believe that I used shards in a poem some years ago.

 

[Neonurotic]

Love:

I stared into nature
And thought I caught
Nature staring back
For with no breeze
A quiet tree
Tittered its leaves at me

 

[Trixareforkids]

Thank you sir. It's what came of Senna Jawa's translation of Odjazd. A reflection on the connection between humans and nature.

Carrie, cheer up!

Second Life Poetry #5

Individually

I belong to a few groups there
and even though I have many
who call me friend and even
some who love me I know
that were I to slip away
tomorrow only a few
would even know
I'm gone.

C'mon, Carrie, do you want us to cry?! I will until you stop writing such depressing stuff.

 

[Angeline]

GM! Welcome to the party. Everyone is writing stuff I love reading. It's inspiring.

Thanks. Not sure I can keep up, but I need a challenge. My muse has been asleep lately.

Well then it's time to wake her up! That is why I like the Fibonacci and American Sentence and other short forms. I can write them when I need time to think about something longer.

 

[HarryHill]

Damn what a cheery group, my words are frozen 'til the spring :blueman:

 

[Senna Jawa]

...I need time to think...

Angeline, don't ask me to think. I am a professional thinker. I would send you an invoice.

Heisenberg's Principle by legerdemer

Hey, legerdemer, nice!

Optional: I imagine a variation of stanza 4, just different.

Best,

Why, thank you, SJ! I am quite flattered! You had me running scared...

That's ok. I'd pay with jazz.

The best way, the most generous. Wonderful again. Thank you.

That whole album is wonderful, isn't it? It's quite a line-up of incredible musicians.
