We're all looking to be inspired and mused.
Get our thoughts clicking or at least fused congenially.
Images work great, are often inspirational.
But what works often for me is bouncing my words off of the words of others.
I find that their thoughts kick start mine.
It's a bit of synergy at work.
A bit of a symbiotic thing
where each feeds off the other and no one the worse for wear.
A form of poetic jam
where all get a yummy taste infusion.
You know, if jam's your thing.
Flow poetry all Beat together yet seperate.
I have stumbled out one or two gems while in the midst of a word jam.
So when in doubt give it a try just step up to the plate and hit a homer off of someone else's words to the wise.
And even just jamming with yourself, as we all well know, can be a wonderful experience.
So I encourage you all to try it. Word jams. I guess it's kinda like how the contests work but without the point incentive and in its place the play incentive.
I'm not so sure that writing poems should be a toil thing, always or ever. While something toiled over can be pleasing it can also be belaboured.
(And on and on she droned)
So anyway, just to finally make my point...
Try it, find a word jam somewhere and use it, your amuse may thank you for it. -
why does my heart feel so bad
-
-
heartjam?
-
-
As good as toe jam for sure. finger licking good. no, no, toe licking good.
Do you see how we are jamming now?
ha cha cha -
-
I'd rather have honey than jam
on my toast
but I understand
that Matt has
a crumbly heart-
too dry
requiring
butter -
-
Oh damn
don't want no crumbly heart
on which to seat my jam
no
'sides
he won't fit in the toaster! -
-
Toasted hearts and jam!
Wonder Woman's breakfast.

Another new avatar I see
you look very aloof
kinda like me
but not -
-
Aloof? A fool!
I'm trying to get the colours corrected - I am really a blonde, but it's not showing right.
When can we see you? Maybe we are sistahs! I always knew I was adopted. -
-
Yes a little aloof... but very cute!
-
-
I put a new me on this morning - try Ctrl plus F5 - but I still don't look blonde - something's wrong!
Cute? Something's wrong with your eyes, too... -
-
It's the new one I can see cutey. But I admit that beauty is in the eye of the beerholder...
-
-
Ha Ha. It's the brown bag crew all in align!
-
That curtain behind me is green - I may start again...
-
-
Green? lol Someone is seriously colour blind!
-
-
-
You remind me of an actress I have always loved. What the heck was her name?
It'll come to me.
She's grand. -
-
Vanessa Redgrave?
-
-
Mamie Van Dooren
-
-
No, not her, though I'm not sure what Mamie looks like. I'll have to check.
-
-
Mamie acted as "The Tallahasse Tassel Tosser" in a movie many years ago. Strange I still remember her!
-
-
I'll google her next!
-
-
-
-
You do look a bit like Vanessa but no it wasn't her I meant. This is going to drive me crazy. I'm off to google an English actress!
-
-
Please let me know! There may be a career as a double in the offing.
-
-
MAGGIE SMITH! MAGGIE SMITH! Remember her? She was in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie? Yesssssss.
-
-
Yes I remember her. She was a great actress.
I did an open mic session last night - I could have used some tips on how to act better - at least, how to be terrified and still function! -
-
She's 70 now panny! I'd ask the Emu at what age she thought you looked alike... I'm just saying!
-
-
I know I'm no spring emu - but there's hope still, as long as the honey still flows...
-
-
Whatever do you mean?
-
-
metaphorically speaking, of course
-
-
Okay... I'm leaving the obvious response alone.
-
-
-
-
Quit stirring up trouble or I'll pop ya in the eye!
I meant in her prime of course. (See how I slipped that noose?) -
-
Quick thinking Errant! You're good I'll give you that!
-
-
Get a load of this! See!
http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3623853824/nm0001749
I think it's in the flaring nostrils! hee hee
-
-
Oo oo I hope you sound like her
all posh and stuff
She's a grand gal. Well she seems to be anywho!
-
-
I'll have to think about that one. I'll go and have a look at Maggie Smith.
Oh... you meant pania didn't you? -
-
Har har har rofl
-
-
-
-
-
-
When I had my photo up you didn't say I looked like a famous actor! I'm quite hurt about that... *weeps quietly into hanky*
-
-
Ummmmm - what was the name of the Skipper on Gilligan's Island?
-
-
Thank you pania! At least you didn't mention Lassie.
-
-
Oh No! Lassie was a Boy????
-
-
Skipper.
-
-
I meant the actor...
Maybe he's more Tony Bonner, though...in Stone. What a great movie that was. Not.
-
-
-
Oh my apologies. It just didn't hit me like a ton of bricks as pania's did.
You look a lot like that famous star what's his name? Oh yeah...Bozo the Clown! rofl rofl
Joking. Anyway I'll scratch my head and think of someone you remind me of. Maybe Richard Gere? Minus the grays! His not yours.
-
-
The only one I've been told I look a bit like is Anthony La Paglia. Not the most handsome of stars... but heck, he's okay!
-
-
-
-
-
-
Aloof A fool
forsooth
and streuth
hounds tooth
by God!
Blonde eh? Cripes the colour is really fudged then, you look brunette from here!
As I was just telling impatient-woman on the Policy Board, I am not a big fan of seeing my own face everywhere I turn...unless it's in the mirror staring back at me...where it belongs.
Hey, curiosity killed the pania, didn't you know!
-
-
I know what you say, about face belonging in mirror - think I might put her back there.
-
-
Well don't listen to me, I'm full of crap.
I gotta say it is nice to put faces to people
I just don't want to put a face to mine.
-
-
Wait now, maybe I should rethink that last line!
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
I dunno. Are you embarrassed for me?
Having sympathy pangs?
Did I give you a heartache
nothing but a heartache?
Just shut up and jam
that's what I'm talkin' about!
-
-
Who do you think Lisa looks like? A young Claudia Cardinale?
-
