| Some lost or misplaced pomes
Posted: 8/13/2009 8:51:14 PM | Let sleep always bring you
to lovely moonlit spaces-
where shadows are dancing
on all happy faces
Let sleep always bring you
needed succor and comfort-
for meeting lifes weights
with previous banked effort
Let sleep always bring you
to that silky place and time-
of blankets for babies
and old nursery rhymes
Let sleep always bring you
to the possibles of now-
the renewal and glow
of a rested uncreased brow. | |

| Some lost or misplaced pomes
Posted: 8/13/2009 10:30:17 PM | I walked through the darkness
To the park not far from home
Overhead the stars were shooting comets
Debris with tails
And every time I pointed them out
They vanished
In the middle of the park a movie screen was set up
And a red boxed popcorn maker
Treats for the kids which didn't cost a cent
The park was full of lawn chairs and quiet attentive people
Watching "Madagascar"
Which was pretty funny
Little children laughing
Father’s grabbing chubby hands
To find a bathroom
A wonderful Thursday evening gathering
Something so simple it was a lovely place to be
The sky impressive with stars
A baseball diamond suited and active in the distance
Families gathered together for an old fashioned walk-in movie
What a perfect summer’s night
And I thought these were only in movies.
(Wooby I love that picture of you!) | |

Posted: 9/20/2009 6:49:58 PM | J, Happy Birthday Friday, I'm sorry it's a bit late. I'm going to use a recycled one if that's okay, but I always was partial to this one...
you live your life with grace
you look great in a hat
you never stoop to argument
and who can argue that?
you love your fellow man
you're still extremely frisky
you never fail to show your heart
although you know it's risky
you're gentle and you're kind
your world view is amazing
you're a dedicated activist
and I am not done praising
I wish I could have met you
at Ravin's fest this summer
I had to be a fiscal girl
but the missed trip was a bummer
but one day we will meet
my awesome quaker friend
until that day commences
I'm left with love to send
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WOOBY...... | |

I cannot wait until
the leaves

Fallen angels lifting wings
they fall so softly...

they just keep falling!

Posted: 9/26/2009 5:50:32 PM | Thanks guys for hanging around while my phone was out. And all the loverly birthday wishes: does a girl's heart good.
This is it (short form). The week prior to the 12th my phone line had been acting up (cutting out for minutes at a time). Finally, the afternoon of the 12th, it was out for three hours, and using my uproad neighbor's phone, I called it in. Repair scheduled for the 18th. Please stay home between 8 o'clock and 5 o'clock. (my experience is 8 to 8.) My son and his daddy came for the birthday weekend, so staying home was no problem. The phone line however was not fixed. I assumed Monday. Nope. Went to the store in town after five on Tuesday. Turns out there was an area-wide outage beginning at six on the 13th, which was cleared on the 14th. At which point they *assumed* my outage was cleared also. No repairman was sent on the 18th. Deeply apologetic, they promised the next day, the 23rd. Of course, no repairman showed. Waiting until after 6 on the 24th, line still out, I went to country store again. And asked what I needed to do to get them to repair my line. And was informed in a hostile fashion that "a repairman had been dispatched". . . . At 7:30, a hot, sweaty, tired and frustrated repairman, Mike, knocked on my door. Evidently in the area wide repair, my line had been physically disconnected and a good bit of my actual phone line had been removed. He didn't think he could finish last night. I gave him a glass of water and two Tylenol (his head was splitting) (mine too, lol!), sent him home to bed with a promise that I'd be first this morning). He called at 10:30 this morning: I was good to go. The Verizon computer called shortly thereafter to inform me that *they* had found the problem and corrected it.
My son had removed my stove in preparation for a new one, and I couldn't go to town to arrange the delivery of the new one. So have been cooking with a crockpot and a waffle iron (makes very fancy grilled cheeses)(can boil eggs in a crock pot, but not macaroni, which just dissolves). So Monday, I go to town and get delivery together.
Some days one understands why "May you live in interesting times" is a curse.

Posted: 9/26/2009 6:41:48 PM | Woobs, I wonder if you can get satellite or broadband where you are?
My satellite (Wild Blue) can be frustrating, it goes out on really cloudy or stormy days, but the rate is better than my dial up, which was 24.9 modem speed....gawd, sometimes I literally felt I'd go nuts waiting for things to load up...
But they do try to hoodwink me, saying I can't connect because something's wrong with my modem, and the repairman says I must have moved or bumped it ($75 service call if it's my fault) to which I huffily replied after the last repair I built a damned brick circle around the thing so NO ONE would touch it...
they think I'm too stupid to realize I've fallen off the server at peak times, and they need to take my exorbitant monthly rate, along with my fellow sufferers, and buy some more servers... | |

Posted: 9/26/2009 9:40:34 PM | Brizo, I'd been about to go with Wild Blue (mostly since I like their name, lol! and free installation, but then you told me about the service pack, and slower service. Plus they promise to kick you off if you use more than *average* use (which is about half of mine))
Sophia ~~ no cell service here: too many mountains, plus the NSA spy system is down the road, and Greenbank is one county west: they *like* radio quiet skies. Also no cable, no DSL.
A good friend just got Hughes.. . . . So I'm gonna wait a bit, and see if he likes it. I think I might also get Starband (another name I love), but last time I looked, their equipment/monthly rate was pretty high.
Verizon is the *only* game in town, and they know it. The service people just don't get that I'm SOL if their service doesn't work. Have told my son to sue them if they contribute in any way to my not being able to get 911 and die from that lack. Hope he follows through because I have this really strong premonition that that's how I'mma gonna go -- incompetence. | |

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Praise of Nails ~~
Hidden. Humble. What holds
what is to its perfect
and exact is-ness
Coat of many colors, bright, gold & silver
somber gray; etched, twisted, ringed,
formed, smooth
smile, surrounded by dimple
Easy, after all, and nearly
too simple
Bright and heavy in the hand. Proud,
necessary. And deeply
joyous

I do not fear this peace I'm free to call my own
nor flee the space I have to roam alone... this blue,
blue night - Moon's brightest bright - marks shadows
left by some pure light as though in day between
dark trees. With quiet ease I find my way.

Happy belated birthday wishes Woobs...
Hey did you guys get the awesome moon the other night?
Blindingest ever!

Woobs, I like that last poem a lot..there is a beauty in utility. I've never thought of nails as joyous. Who knows what little parties they're having in the toolbox while I'm at work... | |

Posted: 10/30/2009 6:11:58 PM | FAINT AS LEAF SHADOW
Faint as leaf shadow does he fade
and do you fade in touching him.
And as you fade, the afternoon
fades with you and is cool and dim.
A wall that rises through no space,
division which is shadow-thin,
his eyelids close upon your eyes'
quicksliver which bewilders him.
And then you softly say his name
as though his name upon your tongue
a wall could lift against the drift
of shadow that he fades among.
Sometimes those frontiers of the twain
may seem no longer to exist,
but why, then, is the breath disturbed,
and does the silver body twist,
and why the whisper of a name
as though enquiring, Is it true?
which goes unanswered until sleep
has loosened his fierce hold of you.
......... Tennessee Williams
