Paper Journal
I love the feel of pen gliding
Across a sheet of paper
The magic of transforming
Blank pages into word art
I love the whiff of ink
That tickles my nose
As each page fans
the air in turn
I love looking backward
And moving forward
Within the creamy pages
Of straight lined paper

B&Ps Shadorma and Beyond – Nov 12, 016
Leonard Cohen is our inspiration for this week – especially his song Hallelujah
And over in the Imaginary Garden With Real Toads we are writing about those Still Points in our lives.
Heartsong
They stole my
words And spun them round
they didn’t
sound The same
Or even tell the story
That I meant to tell
They set them
To a melody
that Charmed the crowds And
fooled some fools
Until I
Wrenched them back again and sang
The song of my heart

Tomorrow and each day
After I will wake up holding on
To my ideals and values
Loving my family and friends
Helping others the best I can
There are no yesterdays that
Can change that

B&P Shadorma for Nov 5, 2016
Today’s poem is “Traveling Through the Dark” by William E. Stafford:
Here is my Shadorma inspired by this poem
~
right or wrong
is not always clear
I struggle
heart and head
do battle in the darkness
while my soul seeks peace
Love Note
Send me a wire
A tweet
A message
Write it on paper
Or in the sand
Put it in a bottle
For me to find along the shore
Write it in the clouds
Trail it behind a plane
Pound it out on a
Hollow log
Call me
Come knock on my door
Look in my eyes
Tell me you love me

Nov PAD day 5 at Poetic Asides
Imagine If
The moon has gone to the dark side
Leaving only stars to light the night
Battles break out between Orion
And The Sisters about who will rule
The Milky Way curdles
The dippers spill out the space junk
They’ve been collecting while
The Bull charges madly across the sky
And we are left spooning by the
Light of The Swan

PAD day 4 at Poetic Asides
If I’d Only Had a Camera
I would have captured you
On film
I’d hold the image of you
Of this moment
Forever
Put you in an album
Labeled ‘inamorato’
And when days are dark
Gaze at your visage
Until the light of your
Smile brings me peace

PAD day 3 at Poetic Asides
Quadrille #19 – spark
De is asking us to put some “spark” in our Quadrille over at dVerse Poets Pub today
–
Ooopsie
It was the spark –
That stray remark made
In the dark while we were
Parked under the stars
With other cars watching
A show on giant screens
I didn’t mean to speak
Out loud, so the whole crowd
Could hear my deepest thoughts
