My mind is blank
ask me to write
ask me a mirage
slay my words
with expectation
lift me on imagination
to bleed from me
a word on page
for your belittlement |

Oh the reality of reality....Hello everyone..*smiles*
Lazy Kwasind!" said his father,
"In the hunt you never help me;
Every bow you touch is broken,
Snapped asunder every arrow;
Yet come with me to the forest,
You shall bring the hunting homeward."
Down a narrow pass they wandered,
Where a brooklet led them onward,
Where the trail of deer and bison
Marked the soft mud on the margin,
Till they found all further passage
Shut against them, barred securely
By the trunks of trees uprooted,
Lying lengthwise, lying crosswise,
And forbidding further passage. |

Hi everyone (smiles). Good to be back for a while...
"We must go back," said the old man,
"O'er these logs we cannot clamber;
Not a woodchuck could get through them,
Not a squirrel clamber o'er them!"
And straightway his pipe he lighted,
And sat down to smoke and ponder.
But before his pipe was finished,
Lo! the path was cleared before him;
All the trunks had Kwasind lifted,
To the right hand, to the left hand,
Shot the pine-trees swift as arrows,
Hurled the cedars light as lances. |

Hi Jane...I've been out, now I'm working on my desktop..how is your day going ?
"Lazy Kwasind!" said the young men,
As they sported in the meadow:
"Why stand idly looking at us,
Leaning on the rock behind you?
Come and wrestle with the others,
Let us pitch the quoit together!" |

As I take her with me into love
I will ignore everyone,
as the rainbow stretches above us
we know words of comfort
will not disturb the days of life.
We smile so that way
and have no further questions
We laugh about it over dinner
we know forgiveness.
In side of it
the wine is full. |

| Zyk, I'm familiar with that..lol..I've decided to just smile in the face of adversity...what can't kill us makes us stronger I heard somewhere!!..It's all an education...take those experiences as lessons exclusively for us taught by teachers skilled in and with a Masters in C.R.A.P...I won't be graduating fortunately...lol |

Hi Liddee. Nice poem Mike. Not too busy but still working on end of month reports. Quick break for lunch...
Lazy Kwasind made no answer,
To their challenge made no answer,
Only rose, and slowly turning,
Seized the huge rock in his fingers,
Tore it from its deep foundation,
Poised it in the air a moment,
Pitched it sheer into the river,
Sheer into the swift Pauwating,
Where it still is seen in Summer. |

Yes I'm trying to find suitable words for an application - I'll skip lunch and have an early dinner...
Once as down that foaming river,
Down the rapids of Pauwating,
Kwasind sailed with his companions,
In the stream he saw a beaver,
Saw Ahmeek, the King of Beavers,
Struggling with the rushing currents,
Rising, sinking in the water. |

Oh Mike, lol. Liddee are I are sharing the infinite joys of 'The Song of Hiawatha' by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
Just some classic poetry that you forget about until someone brings it to mind.
But I love your original stuff. Keep going.
Have to go for a minute - Network problems and they want me to shut my computer down for a minute. Back soon. |

Hi Mike If I find something written by someone else that I want to share I always acknowledge the author...otherwise it is my own original stuff..and I put my name at the bottom.
Jane (Oltrout) and I are keeping the spirit of Surreality alive by sharing classic poetry like this one we are share posting now..The Song of Hiawatha..
To post anyone else's poetry as your own is dishonest I believe!! |

In Jane's absence I shall soldier on...
Without speaking, without pausing,
Kwasind leaped into the river,
Plunged beneath the bubbling surface,
Through the whirlpools chased the beaver,
Followed him among the islands,
Stayed so long beneath the water,
That his terrified companions
Cried, "Alas! good-by to Kwasind!
We shall never more see Kwasind!"
But he reappeared triumphant,
And upon his shining shoulders
Brought the beaver, dead and dripping,
Brought the King of all the Beavers. |
