OK I'll put it back
---------------------------------------- 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 ![]() ![]() |

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? ![]() |

----------------------------------------It's deafening Have a listen to this little finger No? Nothing? 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. nap ![]() |

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 ![]() |

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. ![]() |

A nice change indeed -
----------------------------------------Loved that dialect poem, Nap2614! It was so much fun reading it aloud Undercurrent Skimming the glass surface at hydrofoil speed Or riding the coattails of a forceful wave - Adrift in a whirlwind world. -bjb |

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. ![]() |
