WELL SAID!

I mean both. I was joking partly about what you printed about being drunk on poetry but also saying that I have some poems on the serious side that I've been reticent to post.

I don't know, I have some sad ones coming up.

I don't have those. I have pink poetry elephants.

ty for sparing my feelings :)

C'mon people, comment on your brothers, every sister get together, and prommmmote, what you're thiiinkin', right now! Right now, riiight now!

You're right. It's really about the cycles of life we live and like Karl said, to express the importance of living for the day rather than in the past or counting too much on the future. Things tend to revolve and repeat over and over, and we can forget, we're only active and alive right now at any time in our lives. This is a theme I've addressed before in my poetry, that I've picked up along the way from teachers. While I was writing that, I didn't realize right away exactly what I was trying to say, and it became clearer as I continued. I think that's because, in my intuition I was aware, because this is an idea I've dwelled on and dealt with many times in my own life, and it's that all of my impressions are stored away like a program in there. It seemed vague though to me, although I remembered from art appreciation and talks with other artists, that one of the things this kind of expression does, is say things under the obvious, that we pick up deeply inside. Our inner minds sometimes know way ahead of what our foreconscious minds are able to reason out at first and translate into cogent, practical forms, and sometimes we get puzzled about how to communicate between intuition and logic. Thanks for your comment, and Karl too. That helped me feel more secure about my poem, that other people may not find it too thinly stated. more »

thanks

you know it

I'm glad you understood what I'm driving at. You said that very well. Your comment clarified this even more for me.

Thanks

I will.

Thanks

you must be referring to somebody else

I hope so.
