    While You Count the Stars

    While you count the stars, some woman next to you
    tells you that the world is full of hatred,
    gasps of love and sawdust. Not long ago, she left
    her husband who ditched her in the forest.

    The rabbit is in the pot, the broom is behind the door.

    When you cross her threshold, you'll see your shadow,
    her god, her many gods.
    You'll be again a stupid man
    who bullies and torments.

    You'll be perplexed, have no idea where you are.
    You'll follow the burning river, descending even lower.
    Evil spirits will rise out of the palm of your hand.




    A Bird Started to Sing

    A bird started to sing
    on a clear day
    over the gallows

    A branch stirred
    in a small grove
    next to a smoldering fire

    A stream babbled
    over the bodies
    of the ones struck down

    Wind lifted the ashes
    and spread them
    over other ashes

    hey guy

    this is like a homecoming to me, seeing all of you still here. I'll hopefully be spending more time online soon but, at the moment it's a bit up-in-the-air.

    economy is pretty crappy over here right now so I have no idea how long it will take me to get back on my feet.

    I'll try to get on a little earlier soon and we can all have a real-time chat

    take care and good to see you

    Good morning ... I was thinking about you this morning.


  • katfair on July 7, 2008
    Greetings. I am not on this site too much lately, but came to visit and say hello. Wishing you and Stef good summery things. Our fires burn way too close, so we are on alert out in California. May poetry have a good swim in some lucious body of water for all. Kat

    Hello.






  • cvillelisa on June 3, 2008
    oh
    you are a tiger eye texture poet.


  • Lute on April 10, 2008
    gawd I hate this red. Painful. (sigh) price we pay for Bear poems I reckon.

    Someone should go looking for Katya again,
    much might be gained by the search, that and her vain poets scratching in the dirt.
  • cvillelisa : Dear Niko on April 4, 2008

    Thank you for giving Burst a grand first issue. I love you.

    thanks for taking the time to read my poems. I was confused for a second there..but I sort of liked the dizzy feeling it gave me.
    again - thank you (both)

    Bear! Happy New Year! My gawd, you're in countdown now, while here it's still daylight, if dull.

    May 2008 bring you peace, love and joy in abundance. Great hugs all round.


  • poetryality : Hello There Gentle Bear! Happy Holidays to YOU! ♥ on December 30, 2007
    I see you took a leave, and now you're back! I hope and pray that the New Year brings many blessings into your life. I wish for you all that is good in 2008.

    a scarf
    and a good novel...

    all left for you

  • cvillelisa on December 15, 2007


    hi.

  • cvillelisa on November 27, 2007


    Just me,
    sweeping the last of the autumn leaves off the porch. Wondering what Niko is up too so far away....

  • NurseChilly on November 7, 2007
    I suggest we form a SIT IN on this page... and chant ... we shall not be moved and other such stuff, till you decide to stay and not go... stay not go... stay


    and not go

    ..... we will all miss you

    here... I have many many hobnobs for you, the special chocolate covered ones too... just for a treat and some Jaffa cakes and eccles cakes... and some nice tea....

    and a few s too......

  • NurseChilly on October 27, 2007
    and hobnobs...... little things to take with you......

    sigh
  • zara on October 20, 2007
    You are always welcome on my hearth.



  • NurseChilly on October 20, 2007
    I shall always leave you coffee and hobnobs here, no matter what.. so when you come home, your larder will be full and you'll never grow hungry

    I shall miss you greatly ... and my heart leaps and bounds in a slow sadness of your leaving.....

    and for you

    with love

  • zara on October 13, 2007
    Don't you dare go away! No, no, no. And send my brother Stef my way, will ya?



  • Cat on October 9, 2007
    so sad- i came here to read poetry...
  • poetryality on October 3, 2007
    I must have fallen into a pit
    Or lost my way and cannot see
    But here I stand upon your page
    And no where to be found is poetry

    WHY?!

    The Sentence
    by Marin Sorescu written 1982

    Each new passenger, on the tramcar,
    is a carbon-copy of the one who occupied
    the seat before him.

    Either we're moving too fast
    or the world's too small.

    Everyone's neck is chafed
    by the newspaper whoever's behind him's reading.
    If I turned round right now
    I'd be cutting
    my own throat

    hello Bear

    a cup of and some hobnobs
  • NurseChilly on September 28, 2007

  • cvillelisa on September 17, 2007

  • NurseChilly on August 19, 2007
    leaving some hobnob crumbs in a long line, so you know your porch has been visited

    and some sparkly socks .. all glittery and spandex like

    and i promise not to sing like Florence again....

  • Trellis : You came back!!!! on August 3, 2007



    Time to celebrate!

    We missed you!

    Thank you for returning to us.

    Life here is good now. (sigh)

  • passionvine : I forgot on July 30, 2007
    Peace.
  • passionvine : Do Come Back and Soon on July 30, 2007
    Brother.

    At least you have made you page a lovely Karl Marx red. The only reason I stay at this godforsaken hell hole is because of my little circle of Cain. If you go that circle gets much smaller. You have offered your love and support to me in similar situations, and I don’t mind bringing out my stinger if it is necessary for you to return to the fold.

    Block and ignore were created to deal with self important little cunts like the shit for brains, can’t write for toffee, arrested development cretins who were fouling the poetry discussion with their pestilent turds.

    I rarely enter serious discussions on the public boards. This is AP after all. Serious discussions about Art take place within the circle of Cain.

  • Trellis : The flowers are wilting on my trellis on July 30, 2007
    I am very sad to hear that you have left. Please change your mind. Not only would your poetry be missed by a lot of people here, but your warm and sincere spirit would as well. The inspiration you provide is needed here. I hope you realize that. Please believe the words of your friends and blow off the words of whoever upset you - they aren't important. We love you.

  • Lute : drat. on July 30, 2007
    Will you leave Love behind as well?
    can you Bear to do that?
    Nothing is ever easy, nothing at no time no where,

    Therefore: I will be waiting.
  • cvillelisa on July 30, 2007

    come back
    when you are done fishing.
    please.
