I Do so Hope There are Saxophones in Heaven
dusk arising said:

Blimey, If they aint got saxes in heaven I\'ve got 5 of the damned things u can borrow mate.

Which reminds me, I havent had a good honk on any one of them lately.

Maybe, if they let me into heaven (hmmmm) i could try to become the virtuoso i always dreamed of.

L. B. Mek said:

(\'Kebero\' drums, to herald our fluster of last blinks
trumpets and flutes, as our swansong of last breadth
and saxophones: to play midnight Blues
as we traverse, that matter of nothingness existence
in that universe of endlessness...)
a wonderfully melancholic write, my friend
(got me in the mood for some Coltrane\'s Sound
Equinox if you will, c-sharp of modal Jazz
enticing free, that inner serenity)

A fine write N.
I was only reading recently: \'Store up treasure in heaven, not on earth, where rust corrupts and moths devour\'. So you will only have lost earthly treasures.
You opened that wallet? Them moths flew out of it?!

Called to War
L. B. Mek said:

my words are too feeble, to honour your write
with empty commentary, so if you\'ll permit me
I\'ll borrow, words of a true battle hardened Genius, survivor
of war\'s, all-consuming Horror:
\'Dim through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.
In all my dreams before my helpless sight
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.

If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil\'s sick of sin,\'

\'show me the wonder you found hidden in poetry
Then teach me to live, to love and not hate …\'
Amen!

Called to War
Fay Slimm. said:

Wars have ever made skies weep large tears - - these few lines of poetic power tell well some of the troubles about being drafted to \"someone else\'s war\" and results of objecting......... \"shame on them all\" for wars in the first place my friend.

Called to War
Doggerel Dave said:

It\'s always someone else\'s bloody war. In Australia of right age at the time of Vietnam and conscription by ballot. I did not win a place --- It terrifies me even now to think that had I won, I could have lost my life or been damaged beyond repair as a result of participation in that act of absolute futility.

And as Redgum put\'s it - \'I was Only 19\'.

Thanks v. much for a very powerful write Nev.

So intriguing! I don\'t know why exactly (maybe because of Rosie the Riveter in her overalls) but this put me in WWII France.
