hey Kevin, turn your head a little to the left and reveal that plump vein. I could use an infusion. It'll only hurt for a second.
:D

We are . . . Lamia, all. Skeeters, fleas, leeches, not just bats.

Or we suck it all out of those who care about us...


How many tears make up a heartache?
How many tsk-ing tongues a disappointment?
How many balled fists a frustration?
How many callused knees an atonement?

How many days have I hated to love?
And how many more to love to hate
How many times making love cured headaches?
How many headaches sealed the fate?

How many sunsets extinguished light?
no cricket chirps or bullfrog calls
a central ridge in the mattress rise
with molded forms facing opposite walls.

How many days can you pull me through?
The acid crypts, a digesting sinner
You slap away my shaking hand
“Put down your pen and come to dinner.”

Or are they... UMpires? (I calls 'em as I sees 'em.)

But seriously. The world is better off for your sort of vampirin'. The thing is, they give back, if only anybody should accept the gift.

poets definitely suck things out of other poets and other people in general but does that make them vampires?

('I want your brain, rabbit....')

Maybe it's EmPires

:Shrug:

Okay. Your snow website you showed us is still up on my screen. :)
Is it snowing, KTC?

How many poems have been written about snow? I don't gamble but I say at least 1,500 significant poems since 1870.

yes, i am. thank you. :)

snowing website? where?


I need to write some poetry today. I have to rest my novel, don't want to start another big project because I'll get sucked into it and won't finish up what I need to on TLFE.
I have been in poetry drought since Ode to Dorothy Parker - LaFemme.
I got nothing.

Let me suck your poetry, Kevin. (WOW - that sounds so BAD!)

I'm parched! :)

I misspoke. er, mistyped.

KTC was pontificating about snow. Yesterday, IIRC. It was a link. To some information pertinent to Canadians and it is/was all about snow.

:roll:You didn't see it?

I don't want my words
drained into buckets,
mixed with red paint,
transferred to the side
of your buildings, stuck
up in public, naked and unashamed
hinting at the feelings
that I attempt
to express

rather, I would love discourse
liberating, genuine
validating of the possibilities
of postures transmutable
in endless repose of meditations;
gleenings, if you will,
shavings off of other words,
possibly yours,
expecting the unexpected
postulating with life
as the impetus,
emptying all of us
into the gene pool
fabricating the warp and woof
the was, the is, and the will be

so, if you leave me alone
to simmer and stew
I'll concoct and consort
with intent to renew;
fresh perspective is angle times X
minus the box
divide by choice
it all equals voice.
