new poems

thanks for the mention

I appreciate the mention big guy. I wish I had written
something worthy of it. My brain and emotions aren't
working together. Maybe warmer weather and some salt
time will help.
Anna- I loved reading about your game of fish.

Tuesday's Top Picks

My favorite this morning is Purple Eyes . This is good poetry, great erotica and wicked fun. Thanks tarablackwood22!

I also like Spree 10 . It's organized chaos any poet can appreciate.

I want to thank jthserra for all his help yesterday and for 60 Sheets today. I love this
a gelling errant thought
waits in a corner, torn and tattered
I looked you up to read your stuff and you have submitted a veritable treasure trove, haven't you? It will take me a while to go through and enjoy them all, but it is a journey I look forward to!

Breath of God by Yours Truly is worth a look. It lifts the spirit.

Going back to yesterday I want to thank WindChyme for three of my favorites. Great work! I look forward to your future submissions.

Wake of the Golden Leaf is well worth another look. Great tribute to quitting a bad thing.

That's how I feel about it. Now you go read them and let us know how you feel about it!

Re: Just another manic Monday....

And last, but not least... my favorite of today. Something about this one just grabbed me, maybe it was the rhythm, maybe the meter, but I was wonderfully surprised with this poem by WindChyme titled Computer Shock Therapy . Read, vote and comment.... enjoy.


Thank you so much for the mention, and for all the kind responses given. I am inspired to try again!

But, one question. I mostly write essay type things. Where do they go? I tried to ask about that elsewhere and only received rather sarcastic answers... If I had been standing on a street corner, I'd still be there! HELP!
 
Thank you

Goodness....
I can honestly say I am very flattered and completely flustered by everyone's kind responses to my poetry. Thank you for the mention on this message loop, and thank you everyone who has taken the time to post a response to what I have posted. It makes the thought of posting something else more bearable to know that there are such kind people out there.

Where did you ask? Not that it matters, really. There is some prose poetry on the site and, IMHO, some of it is quite good. There is a category for Reviews & Essays that immediately comes to mind. Or, depending on what you mean by essay type things, you could also possibly post in the non-erotic, how to, or humor & satire categories.
 
Re: WindChyme

When you got to "Submit Work," click on Submit Story instead of poetry. Then you will get MANY options as far as which category to put it in.

Essay as in memoir of your first fuck-goes in first time

Essay as in carrots up the ass goes in toys and masturbating.

Essay as in not about sex goes in Non-Erotic

Hope this helps. I'm a newbie too!

Thank you Syndra for the kind comments on my "60 Sheets", and on "I Was Called Poet".

They also have a category titled: Essays and Reviews. I think most non-fiction would fall here, with perhaps the exception of a memoir type thing. I posted an essay in the Humor category and it was pretty well ignored, but I am not sure it would have done much better in the essay category. I have a review there, but it hasn't gotten a lot of reads either.

which was nice to read, but I wanted to let you know...


And of course, thanks for the comments and mention on my Strip and Go Fish poem, we can play this after twister. Maybe with a poetry twist. Hmmm.... getting some ideas....

My Depression This is so touching on so many levels! YOU GUYS GO READ AND VOTE!

new poems 3/4/04

Okay. This is gonna be quick because I have things to do.

But I did read all of the new poems and here are my recommendations.

~~~~~~~
Open Air by annaswirls.

Better read when there's still snow outside. <sigh>
~~~~~~~
My pick of the day is

Tasting Bitter Fruit by jthserra.

A marvelous villanelle. And just when I was listening to Nina Simone's version of "Strange Fruit." Synchronicity? A marvelous poem. It's on my cork board.
~~~~~~~
Porkpie Alone by Angeline.

Wonderful. A fine tribute. I can't rave enough. Just go read it.
~~~~~~~
Lenny Bruce Ghost Offers Rejoinder by denis hale.

I must be just lucky to get to rave about denis' poems every week. Wow. Every poem of his offers a screaming overload of images. All effective, some disturbing.
~~~~~~~
And a few more to check out:

theres some form of substance by steve porter. (steve? some apostrophes please?)

for sleep by smithpeter.

that which fills my pause by Sibilaire.

apostasies by SeattleRain.
~~~~~~~

As always, read and decide for yourself.

Happy Thursday!

(I'm off to finish my zodiac poem...)

Spring

Thanks for the mention Cordelia and Syndra-- especially on a day with so many amazing pieces of work--

.....holding my breath hoping open season lasts

squirells are already frisky
bad little things
spring has barely defrosted
their nuts
and acorns....
 
Thank you...

Cordelia for the kind comments about "Tasting Bitter Fruit" and thank you Sandspike and Anna, for the public comments. This poem came together well for me.

thanks,

jim : )

Cordelia

Thanks dear Cordie. :kiss:

One of the first poems I ever posted at Lit in 2002 was about the great tenor sax player Lester Young, who was a seminal influence for jazz musicians from Bird and Mingus to Horace Silver and Stan Getz, yet he is mostly forgotten now (unless you read my posts, lol). If you like jazz and you don't know Prez, discover him. His story is tragic and fascinating, but more importantly, his music will take your breath away.

His dearest friend and spiritual soulmate, btw, was the great Billie Holiday whom he nicknamed Lady Day (it stuck). I had to smile when I saw Jim's wonderful poem about her famous song--it was nice to see poems about the two of them posted together.
 
Cordelia

that little poem came out of a very important somewhere.
most times simple makes me cry easier than enormity.
Thank you for mentioning it.

An itsy bitsy apology

My head.

It's somewhere else.

Poems by me have been recommended in this thread, and I've had lots of feedback and public comments, but I haven't had the common coursey to smother you all with the kisses you deserve for your kind words. My mind has been straying lately (see pic :D ).

So :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: to all of you, and thank you over again. You are all great teachers.

You sould had seen her reaction to those pictures... as priceless as anything. A strange mix of maternal loving pride and "Eh? Ersaerhead?". :)
 
A grateful thank you Cordelia for mentioning "Aposthesis"

I wrote a big long piece years ago about Kip Elaison, written by a artist and poem writing character, Azo Yellow, in a novel I had started.

Kip, if I recall correctly, was banished from his church for loving other men in a way that the church did not find to be acceptable. Believe he took his own life because he had lost his sense of community, family, history, identity. It was so painful to me then, I could not edit or cut a single word. Now look, I cannot even remember the whole story.

My anon commenter, I am not sure what you are asking or saying. Maybe I just need more sleep before I can understand. Maybe I am not meant to.

where is my spring? not fair!
