Another "same title" challenge

I'm sorry, GP. I was going to write it yesterday night, and turned out I was feeling as far from my best as humanly possible, so I couldn't do it.

But it's never too late, I hope. I'll try again as soon as I can. :)

    it rained that dream
    52nd street shone oily slick
    neon to bright brass puddles

    rain poured up and down the keys
    in bursts of chord and plinks of flatted fifth
    we gladly drowned in rhythm

    inside the famous door was dry
    and cool for our comfort
    smoke clung to the air in yellow tendrils

    icy gin and brushy scratch attended
    while honey flowed from his bell
    in fat hollow waves

    my purple dress flashed
    slit thigh high above the dance floor
    he wore a flat hat and blues

I have revised--took the changes you were trying to sneak past me, lol. (I was revising, and had started to complicate it with abstraction just as your light touch review showed up. Thank you! :)

I did no such thing! Angeline, no way! It is just that my keyboard doesn't have the upper case, nor punctuation, nor any logic like "but" and "for". My keyboard is jazzy and likes to peek still higher from the dance floor up that thigh high slit, what an image, what an image!

But me? Me?! I have nothing to do with my keyboard.

Beautiful poem, Angeline!!!

Best regards,

I hope you feel better soon. Another day - another challenge.

No pressure what so ever. :)



Thank you, Angeline and Senna Jawa.

And thank you, GP. It is a good title! :) I'm thinking of doing an illustration for a group poem next--I'll try to get my act together on it over the weekend--giving us all a breather--if folks are interested. And I promise--kicking self--it won't be a jazz-type thingy. ;)
 
Alas, I wanted to enter this challenge, but had little to no internet access for the last few days.

I must go write...

Better Late, Than Never

THE BEST
--- double acrostic sonnet---

If you are like the French would say, "En saint,"
Forever giving, lovely through and through,
Your face, an angel's, red with cherub's hue,
Or graceful, poised ever and anon.

Until the scent might fade of flowered lei,
Reel in the bad, make light of darkness na
Each time your charm might threaten noble calm -
To which we gladly shout on high, "Si fait!"

How quick the heart can turn from prickled bough,
Ere when the eyes might feast on rose-filled ore,
But sight can turn the wise from wizened door
Escaping peace for lust to which we owe…

Some watch and quake at that which brings duress,
To which we say, "Look deep and find the best."
 
BUMP!

The summer is just about over, whether you celebrate Labor Day or not. - Our group efforts have been on holiday hiatus for too long. Time for them to get back to work like the rest of us! :)
Does anyone feel up to another Poet’s Challenge?

Recently there was a typo in one of the new poems and “dream” became “dram”. The phrase “dram of dreams” has been stuck in my mind ever since. If others would be willing, I would like to submit this theme for our first fall forum effort. I think the title should be “Dram of Dreams” or some very close variation.

Since this is our first for awhile, and everyone will be settling into their autumn routine for awhile, lets let this challenge run for awhile. How does Sunday September 14th sound for submittal day with the 15th for poems to appear on the New Poetry Board? – Anyone wanting to submit an illustrated or audio poem may want to submit earlier and ask that it be posted on the 15th of September.

What say you? Are you willing to put your mind and pen in gear?

Regards,                                 Rybka

I saw the challenge. I wrote the poem, now I must wait?

I'm placing my Dram of Dreams here lest I forget to submit it on the 14th.

Dram of Dreams

He sat in the barroom wishing for someone to
bring back the dreams he'd dreamed.
He sipped at his whiskey wishing he'd never gone
and left her lonely that day.

The dram he was poured,
warmed as he pondered,
the dreams that he'd dreamed
he'd lived.

But yet he wondered would he still be lonely
even if he had stayed
there in the cozy country chic cottage that
they'd built for living their dreams.

The dram he was poured,
warmed as he pondered,
the dreams that he'd dreamed
he'd lived.

He cried in his heart not showing the barman the
ache that bled from his soul.
Another whiskey glowed in the soft light
waiting to dull his pain.

The dram he was poured,
warmed as he pondered,
the dreams that he'd never
lived.

edited to repair a certain typo.. ty for pointing that out fishie one

Well, you are certainly first in with a poem, but it will not be official until it is posted. - This gives you time to alter it if you want, or even to correct typos. ;)

I'll do it, but mine will probably suck....:p

*wonders how many sucks of a straw it takes to sup a dram *


Just dreaming. :D
 
drams and gills

Drams are small...less than 4 ml. I suggest that the gill is a better size for a literotic thirst.

But then, I guess Rybka was thinkin' of gills all along.
