Non Poetry Posts from the Suddenly Thread

my words were not meant unkind
although might have been unwise
but no matter, I'll take my stink and leave
thanks for your honesty

echoes, darlin' that poem, I wrote had nothing to do with your stuff or you. I apoligise if you thought so.

You write beautifully.

I was talking about me in my poem. I have clinical depression and I get shitty with myself. Writing is how I piss those feelings out.

echos_s it is normal to feel vulnerable and exposed

it is a healthy process but scary as hell sometimes

I thought the poem was hot, damn I cant believe you did not save it

it was pure passion

I almost had a hard time sitting down after reading it

lol


It is hard not to take thigns personally, but you just gotta give people the benefit of the doubt-- most people are just here to spill out their own "shit" and not rub our noses in our own

god what a horrible analogy

sometimes what is going on in our personal lives can carry over into Lit and it may seem like All the poems are in reference to us.
with all the bullshit about critics and all lately it's been eggshells in a way here and I'm sure echoes_s just kind freaked
she may not be used to expressing herself so freely with out being criticized
So..
echoes_s
It's ok
: )
trust is hard
trust is fleeting but
even if there were those here who disliked your stuff
there is a greater number of those who love your stuff
ok??

Min, stop apologising for something in every other post I read. It's uncalled for, and annoying.

Have I been apologizing too much again? I'm sorry.

Re: Re: ok, lost the other poem, maybe this one is better...

Re: Re: Flip that AV over & hit it...

What, you mean swan and all?

 

[Maria2394]

We all exist somewhere
sometimes harpooned
in a rut neverending
sinking bubbles blown slowly
as we rise
only a reason to hang on
to our last bit of breath
until we reach the surface again
gasping afresh
thanking anything around
that steel floats
because it is there for us
and who wants to buff shoes
and spit polished hues
like everyone else
to be ground into a mold
digging like moles
melded metal is the same
poured into cast
and shaped like society
is supposed to be
but what is society
in this sea frame
of floating anchors
and broken poets
who spit words like polish
shining brighter
than any black patent leathered shoes?

where is the sun today dammit!?
hugs Seattle

well Damn, echoes, this is awesome!! I had no idea you were such a philosopher, are you a sagittarius? just curious... you outta submit this un here

the landscape of poetry
runs downhill
its birthplace
small but high
its lines the hills
that chart its course
through pauses
valleys
where the meaning flows
rills that run down
flashing freshets
following destinies
chosen by their origins
and by the tumbled words
that sometimes block their path
and sometimes guide them
into whirlpools
waterfalls
winding streams
through grasses
growing like
ideas taking root
drawing life
from other streams
surged down
by other rock-strewn
flows downhill
slowing
into banks of trees
wider turns
deeper beds
together large
impressive channels
for the intercourse
that frames our days
drawn up delivered
over tended crops
nurtured by the nature
of their source
the shining sea
that draws them in
gathers them as one
then casts them skyward
meaning floating up
like clouds that coalesce
while climbing
into stormclouds
flash and volley
thundering chaotic
cutting loose in torrents
raining down on hilltops
small but high.

Bloody brilliant. This may be the prettiest thing I've ever read.

Re: Re: i can see what isnt there

because most often
it is not a case
of head over heels
open arms
open face
abandon
and on
this day
when skys
once more
are gray
the core
of it all
is just
just
this
you
we
us
me
not a
notable
tornado
thunderstorm
raging relentless
but a brisk breeze
scatterd showers
fresh air to freeze
the flames that
eats away
on us all
called
solitude
and you feel
as well as I do
the insight
that
it's
not
so
bad
after all

Liar, and big hugs!! thanks

its never as bad as my silly histrionic personality sees things, its just that she jumps in first, speaks her ill-advised mind and jumps back out and it takes a few minutes for rational maria to catch up, ya know?

Thank you, Syn.. You're too kind. (Really.) It did drag me from sleep at 3am with an opening line that just cascaded, and for all my attempts to go back to sleep finally refused not to be written right then.

Re: Cycle

Scent of powder
touch of silk
smooth
round
wiggly
bottom
squirming away
to and fro
faster with time
watch her go.

Scent of apple
touch of silly
amazed
interested
curious
mind
running now
falling down
up again
perpetual motion.

Scent of soap
touch of nerves
books
pencils
lunch
packed
hugging legs
kisses goodbye
teary Mom tells
confident lie.

Scent of perfume
touch of anticipation
dress
shoes
corsage
pinned
nervous date
pictures taken
door closes
hands shakin'

Scent of roses
touch of fear
rings
vows
promises
begin
candles lit
love professed
two hearts
truly blessed

Scent of sex
touch of need
hands
lips
tongues
caress
inhibitions fade
shadows merge
sensation soars
moans converge

Scent of powder
touch of silk
smooth
round
wiggly
bottom
squirming away
to and fro
faster with time
watch her go.

Wow. Wonder-full. Thanks

Your two faces
unfaded voices never diminished
not silenced you speak
from my mouth formless
but growing as you grew
in my body faces, organs, limbs
reaching forward to live
but backward timeless undying
for the skin of generations
covers you my schtetl children
even exiled from that ancestry
even exiled from me I labor
through this pain of separating
which goes on through years
through distance still overwhelming
me to push push you into the light
always two faces haunting me

 

[Syndra Lynn]

double post

stupid computer gerbils

 

[minsue]

Another

your strident soliloquy
offered up for all to hear
and see
shared with those who know us
(and some who don’t)
an exhaustive list of my shortcomings
(in chronological order)
your measured oration
offers all a superlative assessment
of the range and texture
of your elocution.
similes and metaphors
crouch at your feet
in awe and honor
your discourse drives
home you scorn for me
and all I might be.
without repetition
and with a range of language
that leaves none in doubt
of the level of your education.

spare me

words will not change
what is you
what is me
I offer simplistic
not simple
I offer direct discourse
and do not hide my words
in shadows of innuendo
of variation
my language is terse
my message is short
take me as I am
or let us part

Damn! I wish I could tell people off with half the eloquence.

Re: Rodents are people too

Re: double post


um, just how do you think
all the AVs stay showing?

it's their round-n-round wheels
that keep this place going !

sure they nibble some bits
and double some posts

but I wouldn't call'm stupid
or your votes might be toast

Sorry. I sorta lost my mind for a second.

Do you really think I’m nasty
when I look at you with lust?
Indulging thoughts of how
your curves defined
with landscape
breasts
and molded thighs
that stretch those pants just right.
Noticing nipples
protruding slightly
announcing their presence
with such subtlety.
Characteristic curves
soft in vision
firm to touch.
And touch I did
last night.
Darling I love you
without question
at all times.
But certain moments
drive my desire,
whether feathering your hair
with tapered finger
or focused on one toe
with polish in hand.
In that moment
between breaths,
between heartbeats
I fight that urge to simply
take.

It's beautiful Fool, and that's one lucky woman you have there
