In what is probably a futile and foolish thing to try to do, I am going to attempt to put this thread out of its misery by bringing it full circle back to the poem. Remember the poem? It was at the very beginning? ... Well, anyway, for those who did take the time to comment, I again thank you. I...
Thanks, Ashlea. You know, I've never been thrilled with that title either, but just couldn't think of what else to call it. Anyone have any suggestions?
I guess not, otherwise I would have forseen the big dumperooski! :o
Gosh, I come straight home from my hard-fought tennis match to see if anyone liked this poem and I find all this? :eek: You guys...
Well, perhaps this poem isn't worth much discussion anyway. The lurid details of the reason for its conception are despicable to say the least. And since the...
SEVEN KISSES
1.
The passing of magic between.
Allotting the manna
From our separate heavens
To our one world insulated from all else.
2.
A brush, a touch,
A sexual caress in the sounds from our throats.
3.
Pausing to gaze
The magic moving back and forth,
Back and forth,
Back...
Aww, no fair! No fair!
You can't stop THERE!! :D
Seriously, this is tremendous, Writer. All of it. And the action parts did ring true. Again, your descriptions paint perfect pictures. I love it. Now, excuse me while I go back and read that last little bit one more time... ;)
Hey, I'm sorry I got all gooshy on you guys yesterday. I tend to goosh on Friday afternoons. Well, actually I'm likely to goosh any afternoon... or morning or evening for that matter. I've always been gooshy. In fact, gooshy is my middle name. "Rum Tum Gooshy Tugger." I'm not proud of spewing...
Nah, weddings take place in the physical realm. This all resides somewhere far more mystical and superior. :)
*ducks*
Boy, am I going to get thoroughly roasted for posting this! :o
This is a poem I posted on a thread in the General Chat area about our "Impressions of Ideal Intimacy." It was suggested that I post it in this thread. Anyway, it's about someone I was sure I'd found that intimacy with. Wrong...
she dumped me. Pieces of my heart scattered everywhere. A real...
Thanks for responding. I was really anxious to see what you thought of this one. I think I want, however, to not throw out any explanations just yet. I'd like to see what responses others might have to the poem. :)
But, yeah, it not a nice poem. ;)
Do you know that there are fifteen Ss...
COMMON EPITAPH
No footprints. On
Windblown sand they
Danced,
These ghosts. Led
By loneliness and
Rain
A mystery made
Them turn the
Knife.
Perhaps lacking, or
Misunderstanding they
Just
Went along; said
The rain was
Cool
When to them,
It was brutally
Cold.

Well, this somebody likes it! It's good, Wabbit. Really sets a mood. I like all of the internal rhyme and alliteration. You know what?
That's a good first line for your next poem! ;)
Keep it up, man, and keep posting!
Well, Writer, this was a real pleasure. Although I've enjoyed reading your poems and the other small snippets of your writing, it was fun just to sit down and get immersed in something with some meat and context. It's obvious that you are much more comfortable writing prose. It shows. Your style...
Thanks so much for your encouragement. :) I really liked Appeal of the Flame. I'm anxious to read more of your work.
I've never written a short story. I've thought about writing a novel but it just seems like such a huge undertaking. Don't know if I'm ready yet. :o
Thanks again...
Wha? You mean everyone doesn't take the time to go to the member's area and look up tugger, and then check the prompt for Read all posts by tugger? :eek:
I'm crushed! :(
