Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, Jean!
(I love the winking bear icon!)
OK...
let's see what we can do with
rain.
~downpour~
manifest in range
from hurricane to soft dew
gifts of life and death
brought with equal measure
yet,
always I will love the rain
masked in cold as snow,
caught in the raging torrent;
nature's heart remains
see all it's faces
know of it's heartbreak and joy...
life's circle of tears
that was really good..very good writing dear
WHAT HAS A BED BUT NEVER SLEEPS ...
Mellifluous Misery
Flicker, flack, plink,
The small torrent coming down on me makes so many sounds of the same kind.
The offspring of clouds sing solemnly on the tin roof shield.
I don't want to be cold, I want warmth,
To be warm to be here to be now.
Rain's dissolution in the sun resolves this.
But until that moment I wait.
My favorite bands can kick your favorite bands' asses.
The horizon is right and motionless like the EKG of a dying woman.
I love that first line, Fruno...
very much the sounds of rain on tin.
And I never would have thought of those words to describe those sounds.
Sorry you dont find anything but misery in the rain, though.
Hardly--I love the rain! Seriously. My poems rarely draw from person experience.

Never from personal experience?

What perspective do you write from, then?
Thanks much!Originally Posted by mallory
I write from a perspective that is contrary to my own. The only things that come from my perspective are really old poems and about 1/10 of my current output.

Oh.
So, do you choose to oppose your own perspective as a challenge, or do you find it easier to write as an opponent?
Fascinating perspective, regardless.
I find it easier to think from the view of an opponent.

Gotcha.
Thanks for answering all my nosy questions.
I don't mind. It's fun to discuss the process.

still? it's been rain for two months and no one has written on it. i vote that you as the bear and librarian get to pick a new subject.
I didn't write because I thought RAIN had already been used and I wanted to give others a shot at the subject. (TRANSLATION: I used up all my material on the last one.)
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
ok
let it be mercury, then

The planet, the element or the God?

I forgot about Freddie.
Working on the element right now.

A Small Fee
Safe and sound in his happy home
Little Matthew in a modern world of polyurethane foam
In the car and off to the doctor for a modest fee
Inoculations for terrible diseases that haunt humanity
5 shots seems like a lot but they didn’t hurt too much
A small price to pay to prevent measles, mumps and such
A week goes by and Matthew’s world atrophies
More time, then one day his body begins to seize
Head banging, hand flapping what caused this disease?
Toe walking, diarrhea, tantrums nothing could appease
Those shots, merely a coincidence? What was in the vial?
Matthew’s Mom had heard of Mercury in shots the doctor had nothing but denial
5 in one day, it was too much. Can a little body take so much at a time?
Injecting our babies with Mercury. Are we insane?
What’s next? Using Plutonium to cure back pain?
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
wow.
