Re: Re: We 21st Century Poets!Quote: A wit was asked what day of the week it was. He replied, "Today is the day after yesterday, And the day before tomorrow," He was asked, "Can you give me the time?" Said he , 'That I can't give, I have need of it."

Re: Re: We 21st Century Poets!Quote: Originally Posted by Grito Ok Irish. Time is relative. We can say that today is, because it is today. Yesterday was, because it was.

But where did it go, that is that is now was? It went to yesterday (became yesterday) because times walks, it does not wait. The present tense is a perspective we have been taught to accept as fixed but it always moving, changing. What once was is (today) is now was (yesterday). The Bible states that there is a time for everything under the sun, a time to laugh, a time to cry, a time to scatter stones, a time to gather stones together. Time moves inexoribly, just as time, each moment, has a place for us, a meaning, if we can decipher that meaning, that time table. God is our guide for us to know the appropriate time for all things, when to laugh, when to marry, when to die and live forever. We just have to listen, carefully. Let us pray we listen. CONGRATULATIONS, REV. GRITO, SIR, "MASTER, IT IS GOOD FOR US TO BE HERE, LET US BUILD THREE TABERNACLES (Mark 9:5) On a serious note, Grito, this is a fine explanation of the concept of the passing of time. I had planned to write a metaphysical explanation of what you meant. Thanks, I now don't have to. |

Re: Re: We 21st Century Poets!Quote: Originally Posted by KtIrish Ok. I think I get it now. Was was and is is. And was used to be is. Past and present tense are relative and fluid. I think I have a headache...  DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE A HEADACHE OR HAVE YOU A HEADACHE? APPLY A ICEPACK OR WET TOWEL. PAIN KILLERS MAY KILL THE PAIN , BEWARE! THEY CURE THE PAIN, MAY BE, BUT SURELY, THEY CURE THE DISEASE AND PAINLESSLY KILL THE PATIENT. Last edited by cousinsoren 10-19-2009 at 10:35:35 PM |

Re: We 21st Century Poets!Thank you for singing happy birthday to me Cousin, I appreciate your effort. Please excuse my oversight as I am inviting everyone here to a celebrate my BD here with unlimited Dom Perignon champagne and caviar (carbonated cider and vegetables as an option) in your choice of crystal or 24 carat gold long stemmed glasses, because I spare no expense for my friends! The Metropolitan Orchestra of New York will be taking requests and we will luxuriate in the view from the top of the Empire State building. Billie Holiday will help me blow out the 60 candles in this, my sixth, decade. Everyone will board the space shuttle to enjoy angel food cake and Kalua licor on a red beach on Mars so we can watch Earth's morning rise on the horizon while the moon hugs her to the sweet and sour melodies of Carlos Gardel singing tango songs. |

Re: We 21st Century Poets!O, Faithwalk, I think one of the poets here is pining for you, at least poetically, maybe you could find a way to cheer him up, poetically. |

Re: We 21st Century Poets!Thanks DancingHawk. And you're right I was looking forward to it. |
Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
