BeeGees played a part in my life along with many other almost legends. The fragility and almost wraithlike translucence of that man was captive.

How delightful!
Yes the sugar ants suddenly appear in spring
but our six cats ignore them as unworthy of their aloof attention.
Thanks

In summary: Men have become no more than attributes of their sexual organs, much as the petals of a flower only serve to fertilize them..

Complex emotions have cataracted through the emotive dictionary, too inexact for all the meanings behind the words, but a fair replica of that conundrum called impossible passion..

good to see your voice again..

' Not many a man became an island, unless someone else burnt his boat and bridges.'
Why must we always assume that the man himslef chose his solitariness? Becasue most commonly he does. But not always..' To be someone of whom such words were written is a noble and humbling experience.' Eucharisto!

Minimalistic reflection of mine: she is woman, independant.

An interesting read indeed, one learns as one yearns to understand other writers minds.

Brave topic, and most welcome in this time of individualism taken to the extreme..

A Hitler song indeed.
For most of my school life I was yelled Hitler for no other reason than being named Gustav Adolf by my parents in proud cognizance of my grandfather, and having been born in Austria .. so thgere are loads of ways of understanding the title or superscription... I sense a few of the levels. Thoughtful piece..

Daring, concise, unequivocal and unwavering.. Stalwart even.. The only meaning Christmas ever will have... Thank You

You do us great favors at times Ken.. the loveliness of non participation of folly and the bemused and laid back aptitude to get back to our game of cards while the terrorists look for other people's terror, not their own, is both bemusing and chilling..
a whacking good read..!

Intriguing.. As it so happens I am just about to go into my garden and harvest the runner beans.. and here is your poem alluring in its buildup.. Forte!

Well: and the lesson is? Always have a spare battery if you want to excel in flattery... :-)

No words have any meaning, unless one has lived them. Holocaust differs not from 'forsaken' in that sense.
Maybe we should never write about things not lived. and stop trying to live other people's words..

SO fitting: a Pavlova is mostly air in sweet suspension anyway..
and when the air moves with a cold wind, the result is gooey pancake.
Brilliant concoction...kitchen over and out.. Teddy

You look for words
that in themsleves would be
plain
mundane
but through the uniquely gifted handicap
the result is often oversized to the mere word
Quest on, Brother!!

Never flay a rabbit until it's dead..

So many counters of unhatched eggs have ended up with less omelette than the shells promised..
It will get better, after a worse patch..

Interesting bit of ' yes and but'. The paradox of wishing for the better while sticking to the lesser, but alas, well known, and therefore chosen for its familiarity inspite of the boredom..

You catch the conundrum of not knowing what love is if you look at it too much very well... Teddy

Friendship is a underrated jewel, and often lacks a suitable framing... smile

As Ususal a Tapestry of mindfilling vistas barely hidden in words.
Not a mean tribute to the artistry of the peacock.. Nor an understatemnet as to the importance of the latter rain.. Full pott as far as accolades go Friend..

This time your dyslexia triumphs in that the whole text taken together gives the same feeling as trying to stand in a storm and having rain whipping your glasses and wiping them to see with soggy wollen mits!

You manage to paint Stratocumulus with cirrucumuli brushes.. :-)

Lovely young lady.
Oh to live in a land where clouds are welcome in such manner. Here in dismal greyish drizzle
we would ban the clouds to hell
if we could, but probably but for a day!

The Sleep Train comes
and goes again
unless you board
the instant of arrival
the tracks hum
with departure
and all that's left
is another attempt
to twist words
into poetic moonshine

I can't know,
but have a hunch
while it looked
as if he was out to lunch
he sat in the shade
and wrote at all down
took notes,
collated evidence,
against the evildoers
for the day of judgement..

Zoya,

I deplore the fact that I am a male when i consider how men act so often.
I signed the petition as a matter of course.
But there is one awful corollary: the majority of all men grow up at the bosom of a woman. How come they learn such bad manners in the primary embrace of their life?
If women cannot manage to instill respct for themselves in their man children is there any wonder tyhat the men go on maltreating the very women who care for them.. Well absent fathers start with present mother's. Is it not so?
How saddening this all is..
But up with people, male and female alike..

2007-09-05
I wholeheartedly agree: a woman needs to be forty before she knows the difference between love and a casual lay.. having said that I feel sorry for my own kind... :-)

The perennial dilemma.Well put and very readable..
