baggage claim delay
sorenbarrett said:

Not ever having been to Ohio I have to let my mind carry me there, which is much safer since dressed in pajamas I don\'t feel dressed for the occasion. It does evoke a playful and wistful feeling as well as type of nostalgia for a time long gone. Loved it.

That special piano could if it talked tell some awful tales Rik - your Gran must have gone through some terrible times watching it and the manor so grossly abused - - - - this telling lament is now in my favourites.

ice fishing anyone?
Mr. Not said:

people want what they dont have, id like going south to not have to feel the chilly morning air every day on my way to the bus, but at the same time when you\'re packed in warm blankets in front of the fireplace, i gotta admit its quite cozy

sorenbarrett said:

Personally I prefer going south, whether to warmer weather or the other side of the equator. Fishing in the winter is not for me. I feel frozen in time and body. Great poem

(distinction, helps us prevail
when conviction, retreats
from Winter\'s, tall tales
soon, a Spring
we can hope to glimpse, and
maybe even a Summer, highlight
or two, to add to our memento
collection
before, our final Autumn beckons
us
to that unknown, ever-after
next)
enjoy the ride, as our months pass-by
far, far - too quick, dear Poet
(really enjoyed the instrumental
chill easy-going flow, anchored
upon a defiant beat of vitality)

Neville said:


For the benefit of drought, I guess fewer folk drown in their own sorrows, or anywhere for that matter ..

Your words today sir had a distinctly nice feel n flow to em ..

new car
Neville said:


I just got me a brand-new Mercedes Benz auto ..

What prompted me to do so, was the fact, since my cruciate ligament in my left knee went,

I couldn\'t use the clutch on my beloved Alfa Romeo .. not even in front of a bloomin tall mirror ...

Neville :)

Bella Shepard said:

Need to set this one to music, would make a great song. Stuck at home, maybe an old flick? A little \"Jane Eyre\"? Love your choice of movie clip and music. Surely hope you get that new car! Stay dry my friend.

Crypticbard this one hit home. I have had several poems like that. A couple of times they have even been blocked from the cite and once I had an irate reader hound me for days with remarks that are unrepeatable.

A plea from the heart and wet feet.
Can be a bit of a lottery when it comes to where you live and public transport...
Got home in the end, Rik?

Good write CB. You home now after this poem?!
I can\'t write too cryptically, though we each have our own style.

orchidee said:

I get fussy - oohh, it must rhyme, I say sometimes. It does not have to rhyme though.
And lest an extra syllable creep in, Fido reads all me poems before I post them. lol.

the ending came too quick .. and took my breath away :)

Fay Slimm. said:

The chosen music leads into the lament so well Rik - the superb imagery underscores how weary a battered heart can feel. Love that final line and having this penning of tearful endings in my list of favourites

sorenbarrett said:

A great pick for music to accompany this image crammed piece. This speaks to me of deception and falseness in the words \"get off your knee\" and the reference to continued \"lucid hate\". Also the reference to rainbow tears. That false promise that there would be no further floods. Tired of continued pleas not even the mirror can give a true reflection of this person and you are forced to face a new birth or start. But maybe this is just my take. Wonderful imagery regardless..

orchidee said:

Ohh, don\'t bother about daft ole Orchi, they say! He dunno what year it is, let alone what day of the orchilenge it is! lol.
If you don\'t complete the orchilenge he will set his imaginary dog on you. He is a sandwich short of a picnic, and his dog\'s short of a bone!

sorenbarrett said:

Such use of verbiage. Who has been slandering you? I loved the feel of the poem as it rolled off the tongue. I did get the feel that laundry day was yesterday but maybe that is just because mine was. But then disparagement and vilification does leave a stench in the air. Nicely written.
