A Poet Walks Into a Bar . . .

[butters]

Oh, thank you, not too many musical instruments a one handed man can play. Just the thing for twilight on the front porch, a duet with the mourning dove going to perch in the cedars, the sweet smell of new mown hay coming from the field to the east and the air like water as it moves over us

two hands *holds them both*

can't seem to find out anything much about it - it's not too fancy, 16 holes top/bottom, the wood is a cherry red, says jazz band made in germany on top and m.hohner with a load of symbols, 1871 - 1874, one star between two hands. maybe it's not as old as that, maybe even a fake. dunno, but i think it sounds nice.

*dreams about sitting there listening to you play it*

Oh, there should be a key on there ie: A, B, C#...
if it has those little push buttons it sounds like a nice one

nah, no buttons, pretty basic. i'll take a pic tomorrow on my phone and email it. it's not too pretty, but it's not rusty or anything.

It's lovely, thank

Contestants Punch
Anything but spring water
though sweet it has no bite
until it's joined with earth and air
a chemical infusion
when your head spins, sight swims
the mix has reached perfection

I don't know if I should post this in here or if I should even post it at all, but at least you'd know why if I should suddenly disappear forever.
You see I'm being investigated for a lump, I have a hospital appointment next week. It's probably nothing to worry about, but it's big and it has to come out. I'm a bit fragile mentally, so if I snap at you I apologise now.

Damn Annie, is the surgery next week or are they still poking about?

I don't proselytize, but I do pray. I'll say one for you, hoping for the best outcome.

Still poking about! I was referred by my Doctor just over a week ago and now have a Hospital appointment, so they are moving fast on this. I've been ill since the end of last year (with leg ulcers) and was just climbing over the hill to recovery, now this has landed on me and I must fight on. I'm so tired of it.

I had to Google proselytize and I'm still none the wiser really! But I thank you for your prayers

annie, sorry you've got to keep battling on but sending all good wishes your way for speedy treatment and a great prognosis. the fact they're moving fast on this is good - whatever the lump is. better out than in!

I go under the knife May 15th

My heart goes out to you, dear friend. I know this is a scary time but I have a philosophy that being scared is alright if the alternative is ignorance. Best to be informed and ready than to be ignorant and surprised at the outcome.

You can beat anything that comes your way. I have my best thoughts gassed up and pointed your way. All the best, my dear.

I'm a cougar

I'm from rural Virginia, US. I came here for the stories and poems. I stayed to share my writing and to learn to write better. I love to garden, crochet, paint, sketch,.... I read a bit everyday, same for writing. Right now, I'm editing my fantasy novel and hope to get a literary agent soon. Oh, the cougar thing..., I have a husband and sister-wife with whom I have never been intimate. I also have two lovers (a couple). Each of them is 21 years younger than I am. Many of my more, uh, description poems are about one or both of them.

 

[UnderYourSpell]

Well I'm home albeit very sore and moving slowly! Didn't get home till gone 9pm because trust me to have complications and others that had their operations after me left while I was still in recovery! It's ironic really because they couldn't get the cannula into my vein because they are so deep. and I'm full of holes where they tried, but when they operated I had a big bleed!
One thing as I was being taken to recovery and only just woken so still woozy, we passed somewhere that had loads of balloons up and I remarked upon it, the nurse jokingly said do you want a balloon? I answered no not really balloons kill wild life. My Consultant (who obviously knew I smoked) looks at me and says 'Nicotine kills people' so I told him 'Ah but people have the choice, wild life doesn't' . The look on his face was a picture, only just out of surgery yet still sassy as hell!
Anyway my lump is going to be tested so now I wait for the results and once again look to start climbing that mountain.

One must always aim to hold onto ones sense of humour in all adversities! Something I shall have to remind myself of when hurting in the middle of the night, but thank you!
