If you've any heart remaining, I suggest you begin salvaging it NOW brother - not next year! Seriously, any more of that leftfield horsie ditty? Now let's see, two and two together here: A Judgement Day innuendo, as coupled with, something reminiscent of the four horsemen for a poem. What's going on, Grits? I'm an excellent listener brother.  Peace, Light and Love, Stardrifted I AM LISTENING TOO, STRAIGHT FROM THE HORSE'S MOUTH! |

Re: We 21st Century Poets!Stardrift, don't sweat it, I know that sometimes, because of lack of inflection and tone, the written word can lose its meaning. |

Re: Re: We 21st Century Poets!Quote: Originally Posted by cousinsoren A BRIEF APPRECIATION OF WORDSLINGER'S "THE DAYS IN HER ILLUMINATIONS" OMG! I HAVE SPEECHLESSLY READ THIS POEM. "THE DAYS IN HER ILLUMINATONS" !!!! READ MY ATTEMPT AT APPRECIATING THIS "COLOSSAL MONUMENT TO LOVE." in PF or OP. TRIBUTE TO WORDSLINGER This poet is thunder and fire, A warbling bird , a whistling toad. A buibbling brook , a roaring river, A solitary soul on a lonely hill. A sov'reign yet to be crowned, A voice to clear the clouds , A harpest on the lute, a fiddler, A lion stalking the crowds, A tiger roaming in the wild. A sculptor of hearts, Of lovers' eyes a twinkler, A priest at Nature's altar. A builder of temples to God, He ia a poets' Niagara. A thought for today; GIVE ME NO ROSES WHEN I AM DEAD; LET ME SMELL THE COFFEE NOW , AND NOT WHEN I AM GONE. lol, you all are out of control, we are all 21st Century Poets. Oren nice write,  ty.and to the rest of you lets kick the time we have left write in it's, ink/led butt, lol. dang, I just seen it was 10 -15, My first poem was written on this date, 15 October, 1987, Last edited by WordSlinger 10-15-2009 at 07:40:09 AM |
