| The Favorite Comments on Me This Past Week Box: “I’M AFRAID I STRUCK OUT ON THE GEEKINESS” “I couldn’t read it properly for laughing at your previous messages…” “you made me cynically grin” “I’ll give you three clappies just for the bamboozlement factor” “my head swims with possibilities” “a vast epic worthy of special praise” “now that you’ve hypnotized us with your colors…” “just like a man to complain about the size of something…” “it’s more Kalevala than Hiawatha” “I never read a poem like this before!” “your should be you’re” “I enjoyed the immensely” “now is the winter of your discontent, good sir…” “OMG when i started reading this i was thinking um ok hmmm then when i got to the end i jumped and screamed and ran away from the computer” “the beginning confused me, but I liked how the words got bigger and bigger” “I don’t like the background, it gives me a headache” “very mesmerizing background” “wow my eyes are aching” “I see the human soul in parts of this poem, and its mortal shell in others” “we have known for years that you were an unnatural being who can’t keep his hands to himself” “I suppose it’s not supposed to be funny but I just can’t help myself” “LOL that was wicked” “this slightly tips the scale on creepy” “I just wanted to show you that I can write without metaphor, too... ” “funny” “very romantic, it tickles my ‘awe, that’s so sweet’ notion” “some of your best power punches are in your one-liners” “what does ‘crazy’ mean? Does it mean you make me laugh?” “you have always made me laugh” “I’m confused, I don’t see a poem… you mean the background breaks all the rules?” “witty” “your visit really made my day!!” “glad I clicked on your piece today” “first one I ever read like that” “I like this, it’s very serious and true, yet truthfully funny” “I love the uniqueness of your presentation” “are you sure you’re not a politician” “this was so much fun to read and look at, I forgot to retain the message” “I need to bite the other side I think” “in the middle there it sounded like you had some computer knolage” “oh, this is so lovely, I’m going to read it again and again!” “yes, women, lovely objects of desire” “I really enjoyed that” “touching, and different” “a feast-ival of creativity” |
The world's a nicer place in my beautiful balloon,
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...

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.
Latest Poetry-to-Melody Pieces:
Sweet August Days to Come (somebody's in love...)
Bobbin' for Apples of Clay (from the "home on the range" series)
Sometimes... faces (Ishtar's favorite)
Then the Merry Fiddlers Came (honored to have been selected into the Winklings 300 anthology, then removed) (written to live orchestra; featured violinist/fiddler- Random Goldfish)
A Dream- Where the Water Sleeps (white stone is diggin' it)
Latest Music Without Words:
From the Coupling of the Lepton Series:
The Lepton String Quartet in "Anti-Lepton Soup"
Lepton Overture: Searching for Lepton Soup
Bonus Track: Lepton Carnival - Midway Surprise
Thinking of August- Duo (piano and cello) (think Twilight intro)
Thinking of August- Electric (a Random Goldfish piano piece gets orchestrated and synthesized...)
Thoughts and Emotions, 3am (me thinking and feeling, and guess at what time?)
The Moon Tonight- Christmas from Ireland (festive arrangement of yet another composition by Random Goldfish)
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, just like a paperback novel, and I must say that I just don’t get it; just like a paperback novel, when you reach the part and heroes often fail; with chains upon his feet,
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:
"Eggheads and Money Rats" (on the symbiotic relationship between creative genius and financiers).
"Perceptions" (on how they fail to relay reality)
"Six-Second Willie" (about a rodeo cowboy who has a way with taming wild horses (on 'animal sense'))
"Obama the Shoe Salesman" (on how Obama sounds like a shoe salesman when selling the Democratic Party's petty schemes)
"I Should be Home Being Loved and Having Babies" (observations of the female psyche)
"They" (observations on mediocre management and lazy, miserable lunchroom hacks)
"Government Suckaholics" (on people (of low moral character?) who vote with their hands out)
"Sickos and Tutti-Frutti's" (a frank look at that portion of society)
"Take the Jewelry and Run" (more observations into the female psyche)
"Front-Page Mentality" (on the way most people vote, and the media's current addiction to brainwashing techniques (such as exposure, hidden bias, agenda, distortion, and wishful thinking) which have become brash and brazen in recent years)
"Death of the Brainwashers" (on how the Internet saved our minds from the manipulations of the major media)
"I'm Built Like this to Make Babies, Are You Up to That, Sleezeball?" (more on the female psyche as it relates to male sleezeballs)
"A Hard-Working People Will Not be Conquered" (a lost perspective on the work ethic)
"Security and Stump Thumpers" (a contrasting look at present runaway government and its petty politicians and the fundamental origins of government)
"There Used to be Seven" (the trials of a gaggle of goslings in the wild)
"In Pursuit of Nebulous Emotions" (how pursuing emotions plays out in life, and in writing)
"Juvenile Mindsets and Immature Emotions" (on the many varieties you may encounter in life, and, hopefully, with examples of how to successfully deal with each)
"Button Monsters" (where I finally collect all the stories that I entertained my kids with when they were still so very young...)
"The Perfect President" (my version, with scenes, scenarios, and situations reflecting current practices and affairs and his handling of them)
"Worthy Pursuits" (all the worthy pursuits in life that I've thought of but will never actually do)

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.
