it wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon,

and we can ride among the stars together, you and I,

and we can fly... we can fly...

what I was doing musically ten years ago...

what I was doing musically twenty five years ago...

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

While writing creatively, do not let your muse admire itself in the mirror.

 

 

 

 

 

People come here thinking "poetry" rather than "life",

which is tragic, for it is the latter which becomes the former.

Bobbin' for Apples of Clay (from the "home on the range" series)

The path to beauty is through a smile, all others are tragic.

 

Postsecrets post of the week:

 

 

 

Can you pack a punch in a few simple words?

 

 

 

 

Art is a window into your heart and mind. 

You may dwell on the window dressing if you wish.

 

 

 

  

60's Song of the Week: "The Last Time" (click on album)

 

 

Which would you rather create- a poem that is beautiful unto itself,

or a poem that seeks to draw beauty from your reader?

 

 

The truly ignorant (spell-checking...) can only speak in metaphors.

 

 

 

 

 

 


If you could read my mind, love,
what a tale my thoughts would tell;

just like a paperback novel,
or the thoughts from a wishing well;
I’d walk away, like a movie star
burned in a three way scene,
enter number three…

I never thought I could play the part

and I must say that I just don’t get it;
I don’t know where we went wrong
but the feeling’s gone and I just can’t get it back.

If I had read your mind, love,
what tales your thoughts would tell;

just like a paperback novel,
the kind the drugstores sell;

when you reach the part
where the heartache starts,
that hero would be me,

and heroes often fail;

and you won’t read that book again
because the end is just too hard to take.

If you could read my mind, love,
what tales my thoughts would tell,
perhaps an old time movie
of a ghost from a wishing well
from a castle dark, or a fortress strong,

with chains upon his feet,
that ghost, you know, would be me;


and I will never be set free
though the book is gone and the story’s ended;
and if you read between the lines
you’d know I was just trying to understand.

 

 

60's Lyrics of the Week

slightly modified & rearranged by me from

If You Could Read My Mind by Gordon Lightfoot

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can only hope my writing contributes to that dreamy look of yours. Such a worthy pursuit in life...

 

 

 

 

 

 

the future of warfare (because I cannot stay serious for very long):

 

 

 

 

 

 

Meaning is the war, imagery and emotions the generals, grammar the foot soldiers, and poetic devices the camp followers.

 

 

 

 

 

Titles Contemplating:

 

see http://allpoetry.com/list/show/70221

 

  






Why would I want you, when even you wouldn't want you, you ask...? http://allpoetry.com/poem/1458403



 

Passing Thoughts not Scattered About:

 

Pride and self-absorption leave no room for being loved.

 

Put just enough weight on so you won't love yourself or hate yourself, right in that area where you don't think about yourself at all.

 

We all need somebody to gush over.

 

When a heart connects, it can be very forgiving.

 

Live within the clich é, or be shunned.

 

When hope begins to fade, it is time for reflection.

 

When writing, you are your heart as well as your mind.

 

Name, face, or spirit- which do you want to be noted for?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

Click for Puzzle of me (warning- humorous content that does not do me any justice)

and ask yourself, which is the face of a poet? (make that a 'dabbler'...)

Beauty was created to guarantee love forever.
