Re: Poetry - just poetry ....

OK I'll put it back blushing

It was that standing naked in public thing that got the better of me

I now know what song writers must feel like, my favourite being Sheryl Crow.

Blind panic biggrin

Re: Poetry - just poetry ....

Why can't you hear that?
It's deafening
Have a listen to this little finger
No?
Nothing?

Not the crackling of a high tension line when you are beside me?
No?
Nothing?

Not the cacophony of every single part of me screaming out "I love you"?

No?
Nothing, not a sound?

David,
Your poem is a fairly accurate description of a relationship, in which I was embroiled. It is possible no one else could describe it as well as you.

Re: Poetry - just poetry ....

Nap whatever I write here under your post is going to be twee but I am sorry.

These things are what make us human, great ones.. It's the reason Shakespeare can still talk to us across 400 years, our Loves.

We're much bigger than the shells that contain us, but in them confined.

I especially like one line in a poem by e.e.

"For every mile the feet go, the heart goes nine"

Sometimes we need to pack our bags and travel

Your fellow human wanderer
Dave

p.s. I have found great solace in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0pG2sDWmVU&list=TLbr_Md_P6A_Q -appropriately titled. Poetry written in Guitar

Re: Poetry - just poetry ....

A change of pace, from Austria.


Written by: Ingeborg Bachmann

'Ithin the woodlands, flow'ry gleaded,
By the woak tree's mossy moot,
The sheenen grass-bleades, timber-sheaded,
Now do quiver under voot;
An' birds do whissle over head,
An' water's bubblen in its bed,
An' there vor me the apple tree
Do lean down low in Linden Lea.
When leaves that leately wer a-springen
Now do feade 'ithin the copse,
An' painted birds do hush their zingen
Up upon the timber's tops;
An' brown-leav'd fruit's a-turnen red,
In cloudless zunsheen, over head,
Wi' fruit vor me, the apple tree
Do lean down low in Linden Lea.

Let other vo'k meake money vaster
In the air o' dark-room'd towns,
I don't dread a peevish measter;
Though noo man do heed my frowns,
I be free to goo abrode,
Or teake agean my hwomeward road
To where, vor me, the apple tree
Do lean down low in Linden Lea.

Re: Poetry - just poetry ....

A nice change indeed -
Loved that dialect poem, Nap2614!
It was so much fun reading it aloud biggrin

Undercurrent

Skimming the glass surface at hydrofoil speed
Or riding the coattails of a forceful wave -
Adrift in a whirlwind world.

Another day of déjà vu

smile Re: Poetry - just poetry ....

From what i have gleaned from the last two posts, you need to take Frost's advice.

A Time to Talk

When a friend calls to me from the road
And slows his horse to a meaning walk,
I don't stand still and look around
On all the hills I haven't hoed,
And shout from where I am, 'What is it?'
No, not as there is a time talk.
I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground,
Blade-end up and five feet tall,
And plod: I go up to the stone wall
For a friendly visit.

Robert Frost.

Re: Poetry - just poetry ....

Nap

I've had 4 1/2 days holiday in the last 7 months

2 1/2 days of those moving house
1 day waiting in for a delivery
1 day being really pleased for a lovely lady who had got engaged while simultaneously wanting to cry biggrin Now there's a story.


Next week my friend next week smile

Taking some time out.

I won't forget to take along my poetry writing pen though or Frost's advice

Nap..... she's engaged
