RE: The Dark Dayz of Singeldom is ahead...

For the last few years I have watched couples drink too much and get into amazing public fights over the holidays and have been glad that I don't drink and I don't have anyone to fight with.

I do miss having a dancing partner though.sigh moping sigh

RE: BACK OFF BADGERS!

Maybe killing off badgers permits the rat population to increase. I suspect it is easier for rats to get in among the cattle and their feed to carry bovine TB than badgers.

Lot easier to see badgers than to see rats.

RE: widest age difference

17 years and 22 years. One older than I, the other younger.


I really don't think age matters (as long as it falls in legal territory), it is all about how well one can communicate and how you get on. I have known some very immature older men and very well-centered youngsters.

RE: Alone again, or

Expressive and appealing.

RE: Does anyone here "play" Second Life?

I ended up on some island in the middle of the sea while I was experimenting with flying.

Not even a book with me, far less any fun dungeons!sigh moping sigh

Observations on a Sunday

Shhhh! I haven't told him yet!

Right now he is pretty miffed at me, I let him out to play outside( he threw a tantrum to make me open the door) and he came back with an amazing number of fleas. So we are having decontamination day.

No doubt I will have a lot to say about it in the blogs later!!wave

RE: Does anyone here "play" Second Life?

I just recently cancelled my account as it was just sitting on my desk top unvisited. Found it non-intuitive and also not very interesting altjhough I probably did not give it a fair shot at engaging me.

Thank you for posting.

Observations on a Sunday

'Morning Don.

You will no doubt be delighted to know I am plotting on how to keep Furball despite all rules to the contrary.

It occurred to me that as I have five or six of the neighborhood strays visiting me at regular intervals for affection and food one more may just go unnoticed...

Good to see, hi to Jackson!wave

RE: For cat lovers

Furball is working on the next installment:

How to make them keep you once they bring you home.


Great post curlywolf.handshake

RE: How can you tell

Emails and phone calls go unanswered. If they see yopu coming on the street they cross to the other side or look around wildly for somewhere to dash into...I have found these to be good signs of avoidance.

RE: Rememberance Sunday.... 11th of the 11th

May all our prayers combine and touch the minds behind the wars and make them see there is another way to live.daydream

Observations on a Sunday

Sun struggles to the surface
through the heavy weight
of cloud folded in the east;
night’s comforter discarded,
leaving sky to shiver in pale grey,
unwarmed by pink,
an image that Chanel
took from the world
and splashed across
the catwalks of high fashion
while cats themselves
wear stripes and spots,
harsh smudges of bright colour
putting carnival to shame;
the click of horse’s hooves
is subtle, unexpected
in the half light
of this pallid morning
but not frightening
like the brazen crash and clash
of iron on the road,
at midnight,
coming round the corner
in the dark, gleam of moon
on chestnut, bay and silver
wild hunt of horses on the run;
Landscape shimmers as the light grows
taking on the well remembered
lines of daytime, written
with a strong hand that erases
all the secrets coaxed out
in the sable slink of night
to dance and ply their passions
in the ersatz shelter of the dark.
Dawn is stronger, golden syrup
spreading out across the cane fields
oozing through the spaces
where the wind has teased
the curtains back to let in air,
now light streams across
the tile toward me,
first hug of the day.



I wish you all a life filled with hugs. Good morning.


hug hug yay

Mourning morning

It's half past dawn,
and sleep is torn reluctant
from my arms
as birds flee shrieking
from the feral cats
pretending to be grass;
eyes ache, unwilling
to be open, craving dark
to soothe the mind
relinquishing the sweet
cocoon of dreams
that turns to smoke
as light comes in
the portals of the soul
to drag me out of heaven
into day, six hours early.
I need to sleep;
on Fridays I live
always in tomorrow
and waking now
will break me
on the wheel of 3 a.m.
low ebb of life force
when I need to sizzle
on the airwaves
the voice that whispers
promises of dawn
of new beginnings
in that hour when
souls will pack their suitcase
and sadness brings its
sorry court to order
as broken hearts seem
shattered ever after
until they hear the song
that weaves the threads
creating patches
strong in hope and healing
that makes the coming day
a flower, not a tomb.


Good morning.wave

Love this image. thumbs up

Found the shift in pattern a little distracting, but strong concept well and vividly expressed.

RE: Where is your favorite place to sleep? Where is the strangest place you’ve ever slept?

Strangest place I ever slept was on a grave during hazing week. Apparently I wasn't much fun because I simply curled up and went to sleep.

My favorite place to sleep is a supersized bed with a featherbed, like sinking into a cloud. Don't get to do it very often so I settle for my bed, spacious, firm, canopied with a mosquito net just in case.yawn yawn sleep

I went off to edit several interviews to be used during our Independence celebrations this month...sorry I wasn't here to respond to you all.

I'm still looking at the pair of shoes sitting forlornly in the middle of my kitchen and wondering how they got there.

I am glad you are all here to enjoy my pictures.hug kiss yay

RE: Space between us

Sure. Did it once. Would do it again.dancing

Hi Paddy, glad you liked it.cheers

RE: When you get time...

Hello me, I'm calling.rolling on the floor laughing

RE: Rwantin

He was going on a shoot for a few days and then possibly on to see his mother. He usually turns his profile off when he is out of town.

I am keeping him & his family in my prayers.

Transition

I don’t remember taking off my shoes
the door is there, I came right through,
I kissed the cat and tea is made
so I must have boiled the kettle;
the day has stretched its hours
behind me, some moments filed,
some lost and some on tape
but each one lived at break neck speed
unlike my Caribbean self,
the one who dances to the music
in her head or on the street,
a languid creature spinning
time into a carousel of moments
full of flow and ebb, a tidal pool
of passions flaring and subsiding
as I saunter through the time
that is my life, my day; my heartbeat
surging to the primal pull embedded
in the crannies of the universe
that I call home. Night fell,
my arms were there to catch it,
to swing the subtle folds of dark
around my shoulders, breathing
in the fragrance of the shadows
as they swirled down to my feet
and somehow swept my shoes
right to the middle of the floor,
abandoned neatly in my passing
from my work day to the clinging
rush of home at last.


Good evening.

The Kiss

I'm really glad to hear that.

Miss your stuff heresigh

The poetry forum tends to be the least popular for responses. Bit deflating at times.

Be well.

See you around.wave

The Kiss

The Kiss

Hiya Trace! How is your world doing?

I just realised I missed two whole days here and didn't even have time to notice!

The Kiss

Just thought I'd go first in a manner of speaking.banana yay banana innocent wink

RE: The bottom of the barrel

There have been many occasions when I wondered much the same thing.

The Kiss

Just there, so close
our auras fuse,
lips sweet surrender
to the thought
of being conquered;
slight flush of blood
as heart beats faster,
a gentle gleam of moisture
on an indrawn breath
that pulls you
draws you
coaxes you
to a slight lean forward,
contact
conflagration
kissing
is the ultimate seduction.
