Eves Poem Taking Life in Stride

 

[eagleyez]

Angeline, that new poem left me speechless (and that's sayin something)

thank you for making this day shine Angel...

*lucky boy here*

 

[Angeline]

Thank you all for the kind words about my poem; is it bad to say I am pretty darn pleased with it myself?

There are so many good poems posted today, I don't know where to start. Eve's is marvelous, as is Linbido's--that's just a few off the top of my head. There's also a sweetly erotic offering from poetboy, incredible stuff from perks, smithpeter, razz, steve porter, jthserra, catbabe...sheesh just read them all and marvel at what we're all doing. I am so thrilled to be around you all.

Here's one link from me (but do do read them all)

Cordelia, my friend~

I have a kind soul that would give you thanks, and knows not how to do it, but with tears

King John, Act v, Sc.7

 

[jthserra]

thank you...

I wanted to thank everyone for the mentions here... thanks destinie for the mention of "A More Perfect Motion", thank you eve for mentioning three of my poems... and thank you cordelia for your mention of "Cable Stayed". Who'd have thought that a poem of a bridge would catch anyone's notice, I guess Hart Crane had a good idea...

thanks again everyone...

Jim,

I was born in San Francisco. Bridges are ingrained in my genes.

Awesome poem.

Cordelia

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanks for the mention Cordelia. It means a lot.

I can only agree with prior posters. This was an exceptionally good day of poems. I especially liked...
previously mentioned, and I'm too lazy to link:
...Cable Stayed by jthserra (when read out loud, it's far more then just 'a poem of a bridge')
...Giving Thanks by Angeline. (a future benchmark for writing dedicational admirational poerty)
...just another midtown addict by perks (just about as hard-hitting, edge-driven as it can get)
...Trans Dermic Words by Linbido (went sub-dermic on me)
and, introducing:
...somethings got to give by steve porter. (a sharp observation of an all too common scenery)

you should read Cordelia's State Street Bridge...its lovely. I'll look for the link if she doesnt pop it right up here, k?

 

[smithpeter]

Cordelia-
On a day when “thank you” is not enough I realize that those two words are seldom if ever adequate to express how important the kindness and affection are that come from this place and hearts.

State Street Bridge, by Cordelia

echo_s poetry...

Amid all the flurry of excellent poems over the last few days I spotted several wonderful, erotic poems by echo_s. Posting one poem a day, for the past few days she quietly snuck in here, completely unannounced. Take a peek at yours and Everywhere . These are well worth the read and I think echo_s is worth watching for...


jim

 

[jthserra]

Oops...

that is echoes_s . Take a peek at her poetry.

Re echo_s's poems..

Wow..please excuse the mundane expression, but it's the day after Thanksgiving..*s*.

 

[perks]

Thanks everyone who sent me feedback to my email and mentioned me here. These two bar poems were very personal to me, and difficult to post, as they're very telling.

thank you for the support. I appreciate it.

I really enjoyed reading those poems-

That personal connection was evident-but that made them even more compelling.

Look forward to reading more.

Black Friday

is an American tradition I despise, probably because I don't like malls, though my AV has dressed for the occasion. I like downtowns. Does anyone remember them? We had one where I grew up, and it was very real and not climate-controlled. And let me tell you, on Black Friday where I come from, you snag the parking space at the mall that the other guy wanted, you maybe sleep with the fishes (no, not Rybka--the ones at the bottom of the East River).

But I digress, and do you know why? There are no new poems today. That's two weeks in a row. Some might see an ugly subtextual message in that (e.g., we don't want your reviews), but not me. I'm taking not having to do recommendations for the blessing it is, lol.

So we all have a vacation day. Go write a poem. Go on.

 

[eagleyez]

or

we could go BE the poem.

Did you drink my vin rouge?

That, my friend, is the secret goal for EVERYBODY on this forum. The diploma for a well done job is hereby reserved for eagleyez, until someone is arsed enough to write it...

 

[jthserra]

Take heart Angeline...

It's not that the poems arent there... they are simply in stasis anxiously awaiting your eyes, your heart and your wisdom...

One of mine was posted yesterday afternoon but still hasn't appeared. Last week was like that too.

I'll do my best. I fear Rybka, who's filling in for Lauren tomorrow, is going to be doused with poems. We'll all help, I know.


leaving to BE a poem

 

[eagleyez]

clattering around with a
house full of boys

we found the
hipsters holiday
album-

chezzie says "terence, bloody hell, Miles on this one."


he only says it cause he knows you'd dig it.

the youngee says yes
and i smile.

 

[Rybka]

I Fear So Too!

I'll do my best. I fear Rybka, who's filling in for Lauren tomorrow, is going to be doused with poems. We'll all help, I know.

If it doesn't happen on Saturday then it will triple up on Sunday! (What is the record for number of poems reviewed in one sitting?) - I may get doused, but at least I can't drown!


Regards, Rybka
