• Axsis : Hello stranger from 2004/5 on March 23

  You likely won't remember, but we chatted briefly in 2004 and a quick hello in 2005...
  
  I just recall myself...
  
  Anyway, I find myself back here after 3 years and saw the note from you in 2005, so thought i would say hello.
  
  Looks like you haven't been round for a while, but if you drop back in, say hello
  
  Best wishes and I hope all is well with you and yours...
• MargaretG : my book on March 17

  passionvine!
  
  I think I should tell you first! I am finally reviewing my poetry and you know what?? I think I have a sendable manuscript with 80+ poems by now!
  
  I like my physics and natural philosophy stuff for getting my own anthology published, who knows? I might be put on the Yr 12 (matric) syllabus?!
  
  It is a beautiful thing about copyright I think- there is no-one in the world who can pretend to be me!!
  
  Luv ya mate!
  Cheers (white shiraz)!
  Toby.
  
  Peace

  Thousands of lights were burning on the green branches, and gaily-colored pictures, such as she had seen in the shop-windows, looked down upon her. The little maiden stretched out her hands towards them when--the match went out. The lights of the Christmas tree rose higher and higher, she saw them now as stars in heaven . . .
  
  Merry Christmas, Very Special Friend, Merry Christmas...

  Not another one!
  
  Don't you know your house could burn down with all the paper in it, and your computer too, or it alone will definitely go kaput one day, more likely sooner than later, and poof! there go all your poems. Me, I keep them all archived here, 'cept the ones I hope to be paid for, and I don't give a damn what torture I put people through that happen upon them, I have them safe always here, for the purpose of humbling myself if nothing else.
  
  So. Your poems are gone, but for an oldie and a new one, which didn't show up on my radar, thanks to Claire who posted 4 all at once and pushed everyone else off the page.
  
  What's wrong with you people????!!!!!
  
  
• passionvine : Dear Lute: on July 12, 2007

  
  
  I low you are a clever feller and right bout timidity and all. And that there were in part the reason for the clearing the field. There be other matters involved where AP is a plumb hostile neighborhood for the likes of me, and I am fixin on either making sure that I can stay or else skedaddle entirely. I am right sorry for any intimation made where my rapid abandonment of the premises slighted any person partial to my scrawls.
  
  In short, much appreciated.
  
  Peace.
  
• Lute : the absence of verse: on July 12, 2007

  to whit:
  
  I comes here all fired and in a gawd awful mood of commentin fever and what do I find.
  
  Nothing is what I find.
  
  no poems.
  
  another tempermental poet deciding in his infinite wisdom deciding on his own that his cannotation on the absurd are no good before I even get the chance to concur in his decisions.
  
  why, if I had the courage of my convictions, there would not be one poem of mine on here. I hate them all, they arew sewage, offal which should be used toilet paper. Some people seem to like them tho, and in my cowardice I leave them alone.
  
  one should, take heed of that, leaving to others that judgement of worthlessness, and timmidly refrain from making hasty decisions which affect us all
  
  Yer frend,
  Lute.

  Yes you are back.

  You're back, you're back!
  Must hear about trip, when you have a minute.
  
  
• passionvine : Perry Neil Plummer on June 1, 2007

  Oh my yes did I ever watch the Cavaliers.
  
  I was on my second martini and was so pumped with adrenaline with the first overtime that I felt not its effects in the slightest.
  
  I lived not far from Saint Vincent’s where Lebron James played high school ball -- and actually saw his play at that level while visiting home on a couple of occasions.
  
  So yes -- it was quite a game and an incredible individual performance.
  
  Peace.
• porksnorkel on June 1, 2007

  yo.
  
  You catch that Cavs game last night? WOW.
• zara on May 21, 2007

  I hope you have a wonderful, wonder-filled trip.
  
  When you get back - and have 6 minutes to spare - here's something to check out:

  Love your page, by the way.
  I was asking the infamous 13-year-olds to name personality types the other day, and someone said "sexy", which for me was a great taking-off point for the "space between" discussion - beauty, sexiness, happens in the act of perceiving, I think - but of course they'd only been trying to get a rise out of me, so they changed the subject. LOL!

• Boson Higgs : ? on March 14, 2007

  So many precedents for any human idea! there are none new...
  
  ...would it not be better to be a virgin, unknowing of all that precedeth before me in those annals, literature- would my one life-chance at a truly original literation these days, be all the greater, then?

  Happy Halloooowwweeeeen....
  
  A dark Cave. In the middle, a Caldron boiling. Thunder.
  Enter the three Witches.
  
  1 WITCH. Thrice the brinded cat hath mew’d.
  2 WITCH. Thrice and once, the hedge-pig whin’d.
  3 WITCH. Harpier cries:�’tis time! ’tis time!
  1 WITCH. Round about the caldron go;
  In the poison’d entrails throw.�
  Toad, that under cold stone,
  Days and nights has thirty-one;
  Swelter’d venom sleeping got,
  Boil thou first i’ the charmed pot!
  ALL. Double, double toil and trouble;
  Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
  2 WITCH. Fillet of a fenny snake,
  In the caldron boil and bake;
  Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
  Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
  Adder’s fork, and blind-worm’s sting,
  Lizard’s leg, and owlet’s wing,�
  For a charm of powerful trouble,
  Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
  ALL. Double, double toil and trouble;
  Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
  3 WITCH. Scale of dragon; tooth of wolf;
  Witches’ mummy; maw and gulf
  Of the ravin’d salt-sea shark;
  Root of hemlock digg’d i the dark;
  Liver of blaspheming Jew;
  Gall of goat, and slips of yew
  Sliver’d in the moon’s eclipse;
  Nose of Turk, and Tartar’s lips;
  Finger of birth-strangled babe
  Ditch-deliver’d by a drab,�
  Make the gruel thick and slab:
  Add thereto a tiger’s chaudron,
  For the ingrediants of our caldron.
  ALL. Double, double toil and trouble;
  Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
  2 WITCH. Cool it with a baboon’s blood,
  Then the charm is firm and good.

  BTW! I adore John Lennon!
• poetryality on August 12, 2006

  I love the irony of the play "Mother Courage and her children". The fact that she depends on war to survive is an awesome concept! How she profits from the war by selling her personal wares, shows the strength of a woman who has no other choice but to survive for herself and her children. I wish you well in this performance, and oh to set it to music will be an extra blessing. Good for you!
  
  Please make sure to send details. Who knows where I will be or what I will be doing but sitting here at this computer on a daily basis will become less and less in the coming days.
  
  I just sent my original play Bone Pickin' to the 2007 Program chairperson for the Festival. If you don't mind, I'd like to email a copy to you. I know your time is pretty well spent these days but when you get a moment let me know. I would love your critique.
  
  Than you ever so much for the links.
  
  CONGRATUALTIONS!
  
  Blessings & Love ♥

  Dear Renee:
  
  Thank you for your lovely thoughts and blessing.
  
  I am playing Pere Ubu in a production of “Ubu Roi” and composing music for “Mother Courage and her children” that I begin directing right after the production closes. That and other concerns have me quite overwhelmed now, and I spend very little time at AP other than to check messages and respond.
  
  Hope you make it down to Florida someday for the Zora Neale Hurston festival. My youngest son just finished reading “Their Eyes Were Watching God” and loved it.
  
  Thank you so much for the video – here are a few back for you.
  
  Peace.

  Dear Professor,
  
  There is a peculiar time in every one's life when they have the need to simply say THANK YOU to people that have blessed them in one way or another. This is that time for me. I feel like I know you personally because we have so many people from Kent State who are our friends and associates in common. I just needed to extend blessings. May they abound in your life.

  Quiet here. I got my packets out. I got my packets out. I got my packets out.
  
  
  Selfishly, looking forward to your return but hope you are continuing to have a wonderful time.

  Helloooooooo. Did you see the GIANT MOON?
• zara on July 7, 2006

  PBS broadcast a short film about the Kent State massacre last night. Thought of you.
  
  God it was awful. Hurts me more now than it did then; I think I was kind of used to atrocities at the time - isn't that terrible?
  
  In eastern BC today, there's a celebration going on, of the role Canada has played in welcoming conscientious objectors, and of the role THEY have played here in the last 35 years. Tom Hayden is there, and Country Joe McDonald.
  
  Flashback city.

  Thanks. Great quotation although wrong saint. The Silent One is from the Eastern Orthodox church.
  
  
  St. Hesychius of Antioch Feastday: November 18
  Martyred Roman soldier. He declared himself a Christian and threw away his military belt. For this he was drowned in the Orontes River, in Syria. He was a convert and pacifist, who chose death for himself rather than killing for Rome.
  
  Peace.

• zara on May 23, 2006

  Hey there. Dropping by to let you know I really appreciated your comment over at substanza (the deserted place now, it seems).
  
  Tonight I read all the poems you have posted here, in absorbtion mode. I'll come back at a later date to comment. You must have many more than you've left here; I can see I'll have to be quick, so as not to miss anything.
