Not bad at all Sarge and Hev ;) This is always a great thread to come to when you need a bit of inspiration. The thing is, it's my own. I'm just not as prolific as Daniel. Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes. ID: 785890 ·  |

HYPOCRISY by: Samuel Butler (1612-1680) HYPOCRISY will serve as well To propogate a church as zeal; As persecution and promotion Do equally advance devotion: So round white stones will serve, they say, As well as eggs to make hens lay. ID: 791051 · |

"The Final Fly" The days are getting shorter It’s a bitter dying light As the final fly of summer Takes a lonely winter flight The things that once were lively Are slowly finding death The visitors are leaving On the next train headed west The coming days loom bitter For the warmth forsaken soul The closing theme is playing In the lonely winter cold Maybe some fine morning Spring will come again Till then darkness rules the winter Goodbye to you my friend ID: 791142 · |

Perhaps you have a poem that you might like to contribute Qui-Gon. This thread is open to all. I have done so before, and been savaged for it. As for this thread being open to all, well, maybe that's not completely true. Did you understand my commentary? ID: 793420 · |

WATER is taught by thirst; Land, by the oceans passed; Transport, by throe; Peace, by its battles told; Love, by memorial mould; Birds, by the snow. Emily Dickinson (1830–86) ID: 793707 · |

I may have the wrong take on this, but I see it as sentient beings (be it ET or us) looking out at the universe and hoping there's other intelligent life out there that they'll be able to communicate with. ID: 793717 · |

Sorry I don't smell to good[edit] spell[/edit] Blinded at conseption by the biased blood of lost generations past Yes even there in that warm abode,unperceptible impregnation of the yet unformed cortex began forming subtle veils of aged consiousness across the cerebral retina, feeding false fears on the frighting fruits of feindish fallacies given glibly by santimonius purveyors of pardon. And now for the first time in decades,minnut particles of alpha, beta,and gamma rays, are purging the film of costly cancer of carnivorus creation. Now as the almighty alkaloids of the acient Incas race from palms to palates the fiascos of unrembered fornications ogle their timeless shells in the looking glass of logic, Seeing the sights so craftily covered by The minds of men gone mad

Still I Rise by Maya Angelou You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I’ll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? ‘Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I’ll rise. Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops. Weakened by my soulful cries. Does my haughtiness offend you? Don’t you take it awful hard ‘Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines Diggin’ in my own back yard. You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I’ll rise. Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I’ve got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs? Out of the huts of history’s shame I rise Up from a past that’s rooted in pain I rise I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear I rise Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise I rise I rise. "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss ID: 795197 · |

. . . @ MrGray - ever heard Maya's Actual Voice - when she reads - exquisite to say the least < here's some more of 'The Equation' (yet to be published - though 'relatively' soon) - by richard w lubrich jr i don't know . . . the colour of the sky, the taste of the sunshine on Autumn leaves, the openness of the skies above with clouds that hide, the rains of winter in times that snow, nor the emptiness - of being away from you at these times , but the silence of the night - as in dreams that pass . . . as i lie down - by your side . . . and this is when i know - everything will be alright . . .

This was written by a friend... "Just Too Old To Ever Walk The Moon" something i realized has torn me up inside as morning turns to late...late afternoon all the dreams i had... the good...the sweet...the grand there's really not much chance they'll all come true it hit me hard it laid me flat this could be my last comeback if no one wants to hear my latest tune the saddest thought of all though the dream still comes to call i'm just too old to ever walk the moon ID: 807146 · |

This is a little present for all of you. Written 10 years ago, hope you like it: Barefoot walking girl Hill girl, come to me. Hill girl, don’t set me free. You are going to change my life, You are going to break my pride. Enchain myself with your kisses Take my wishes, and turn them real let your love become my madness, take my sadness and make it disappear (Sweet eyes of yours, I can’t believe…) Barefoot walking girl, Barefoot walking girl… rest a while and stop your trips: I want your body, I want your lips; please, please, don’t make me cry stay around, or I’d rather die. Can you feel my desire? Colored ladybird, descend on me dry my tears and fill my life; now I wonder and I fear: will you ever be my wife? So barefoot walking girl, What are you looking for? I can’t stand it anymore! I’m not a man who dares But I love you, and you don’t care Goodbye sweet girl’o’mine… maybe in another place, maybe in another time. DAN'S POETRY CORNER is a good idea, thank you! The Dreamer P.S. thanks to Uli for language support ;-)
