Re: Late monday mentions

~~~

dear Lit readers and poets. I am so sorry for being so very late with these mentions. A couple of you know, I am not "alone" now, not ever, long enough to read, or be online, nor do anything that relates to my friends, or whatever. I am, will be, gone from here, maybe for a long time. It is no ones fault, no troll this time, no hysterical reactions or misunderstandings, no one has said anything. I just cant do it and its a family thing. I hope I have offended no one, and I hope I get to come back, but it all depends on the economy, of reason and and feeding kids and staying sane. I wish you all the very best, ta ta for now

julie

I'll miss ya... hope to see soon, mon bel ami.

Thanks so much for the mention Neo! My poetry has hit a terrible dry spell lately...2o'clock took too much effort and I'm glad that you found something you liked in it!

Hi
I'm not sure if anyone is covering this Friday for me. I've lost track of what's going on. lol Anyway, I just got back from the doc with my two kids--in there for 2 hours. There were shots, screaming, tests, appointments for more tests, "You're a bad mommy for getting us shots!" and then kid meals from McD's. Sigh...
I have more to do, but I'll try very hard to review if no one else can. It will be late, though.

I'm doing them--in fact I'm gonna go read them right now. The monkey (who is in the same time zone as me) can't possibly still be on jury duty, but I love him anyway (and thanks for the kind offer of sexual favors in return for this you sexist pig).

That's not till spring. And I wanna know what kind of rabbi approved you? I guess for Passover you're ok as long as you're unleavened. hehe.

Round Midnight is one of my favorite movies. Dexter Gordon is a genius in it--was nominated for awards, too, for that performance. His character is based on Lester Young and Bud Powell and their brilliant, tragic lives.

yep
and when they ask him who his favorite tenors are...first one
" Lester Young"
His tone was like lesters..very rich


Hmmmmmm
I appear to be rambling
; )

no sox tonight baby.

I said sox.

and Lester's tone was rich but so light; it has been described as "hollow." Dexter was more a true bebopper, I think, but gosh the stuff he plays in that film is lovely, isn't it?

 

[PatCarrington]

Pat Carrington’s Smokey Mountain Symphony flows like honey and is a beautiful homage to his father. I am coming to believe that Pat couldn’t write a bad poem if he tried. This one is so lush with imagery and reminiscent ache that it makes you gasp. I don’t care who disagrees, Pat, like I said before, your soul shines in your poems. I’ll say it again and I don’t care, lol.

You talk and sing from ancient mountains
where I spread your dust, carried you, flaked,
from cemented lands to paradise, to rest
beneath the turquoise plumage of buntings
and sky, the night cries of red wolves
and Tennessee heavens. You were small

on my lap, but when I opened the urn
the wind lifted the ashes of your throat,
sprinkled you across the wilderness, and

you were god again, resurrected here,
in your first and final home, the place
of blue smoke where you walk young
once more, barefoot with salamanders,
bleed red into the roots of spruces. I hear

you, my father,

thank you for those wonderful words, ange.

and i LOVED the "gemini" poem.....i think i'm just jaded against illustrations, having seen so many poor ones.

that poem is wonderful, all by itself.

 

[denis hale]

Thanks Ange!

PS--denis, I just want you to know I got the Lou Reed reference in your poem. I liked that a lot, lol.

Yer a smartie, you are.


Thanks so much, for da kind words.

[annaswirls]

Thank you ttu for your mention of my poems:

followed by marshmallows


It is not tortoise shell


And a little plug for my poem last week that did not get many reads or votes.

I think I am going to bring this up for discussion, I don't think we have talked about voting in a few months lol!

Okay I am without shame. I worked hard on this, and yet there are errors, please forgive, they are in the machine being edited, I promise promise.

Thank you Maria for recommending Pops and Why Jazz. I taught you everything you know about jazz? You're in trouble, sis.

Ask tungtied. He started hanging out with me and now all he does is buy cds.

actually, you taught me to listen in a different way I have always loved artists like Ray charles, and Jimi hendrix, Janis was a hard one for me to like, but she grows and Otis redding, oh my gosh, I would have sat on that dock with him forever if he would have sang that song for me but once. My mom had the house filled with the Platters and Patsy Cline and my dad loved Goose Creek Symphony and Dr Hook

BUt the jazz...it does something I wasnt aware of till I started reading your poems, it gets in your soul and has to come out as art too!! I would write about it, but I dont know how, ..yet, but it has had an effect and I thank you for that
