[eagleyez]

who taught me how to fall with grace.



High Climber

Mediocrity creaks like uneven linoleum.
Lives gather neglect like dust . If you never
move beyond, all your green expanse is no more
than hollow blades and the lawn needs mowing.

All our gardens droop weedy gray in time,
stems bent by sameness, traced in dew
too dry to recall what sparkled once,
resigned to pale light like thin ghosts of sun.

Some lives go on forever dead.

I’d rather see the tree line from the climber’s vantage,
shimmy up all your limbs to reach the roof of risk
where green is held aloft, steadied by brown, blue above

like freedom.

Above all, the trick is knowing how to fall,
hearing music in the whoosh of letting go,
arching to wind. Above all the trick is curving arms,
falling with open hands, with fingers branching,
dancing in midair.

I'll land beneath you like a scraw of feathers.

I only kvetch at and chastise those I love.

Thank you dear.

Boyfriend? You mean Tath?

You've been so busy posting that you haven't noticed it is summer outside-- you can take off your hat, now.

Congrats, Ange. You're ten times the post whore I am.

Thank you and I see that I am.

My av is a fantasy that I'm nuts to have, given the winter I just suffered through, but it was goddamn 90 degrees in my apartment earlier. Yikes.

Angeline Blues
by The_Fool ©

Angeline,
have you seen
what life’s got
out there
for you.
Beware that jazz.
Beware those lonesome blues.
That trumpet cries,
That sax wails,
That drum beats out
the rhythm of your heart.
Your heart needs no other beat.
Those minor keys
will lock up up
Deep within their sorrow.
That slow call
for alcohol
will drive you to the brink.
That moody song
will steer you wrong
and leave you feeling sad.
So let it go,
all sad and slow
and chase those blues away.

The Blues Challenge Poems..

This Ain't No How The Blues

Oh I ain't singin' no muddy water blues
No I ain't singin' those muddy water blues
Cause I got Perrier water ta choose,
And I ain't wearin' them blue suede shoes.

Oh I ain't cryin' no beat up truck blues
No I ain't cryin' those beat up truck blues
Cause I got an Explorer that's in the news
And I ain't payin' hard time dues

Oh I ain't broke,
Cause my Trust Fund just matured.
Yeah it's no joke,
I'm Canadian, haven't you heard?
Gallery happenings on opening night
Champagne and caviar treatin' me right
Right there with the well-to-dos
Wearin' designer Gap-trendy-wanker denim blues.

There ain't no way I can find the blues.
No there ain't no way I can find the blues.
There be looks in the family tree,
And my luck is damned good, don't ya see?
And my baby's so fuckin' sexy,
He be lovin'
Nobody else
but
Me!

Oh I ain't singin' no bring me down blues
No I ain't singin' no bring me down blues
Cause I got lovin friends in alla you's
And I ain't singin'
No I ain't cryin'
I ain't singin' no bring me down
blues.

Think I've been here too long?

I have 9 posts to go to get to 10,000.

This is my first vanity thread since I came here damnit (well arguably not, but I think so), and most of my almost 10,000 posts have been in this forum.

I'm putting my poems in this thread. Write one or put your favorites of yours here, too, please. I wanna celebrate poetry and make my endless rattling here seem meaningful.

Congrats Ange

Your Breath

Your breath
Soft in my ear
Whispers take me
Take me away from here
Your lovely feet
Toes raised on high
Feet pressing
Pressing against the sky
And the velvet pressure
Of your heated thigh
Urging me on
Helping you fly
I soar with you
I dip and sway
Moving with you
In every way
Your hot breath whispers
Take me
Take me away
