Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

we make movies
write poems,
look at the moon
in bloody October
through chilled air

we cry like wolves
laugh like hyenas
play like otters
dance like insects
across a pond

we assume
mother earth
will always
be here for us
we make movies

in the valley of spent cartridges there are opaque images in the traverse, of what happened or maybe it didn't, I mean the tendency is to clean it all up, all the fuzzy fragments laid out on the amateur archaeologist's table this puzzling puzzle in shards of time.... I need to revise the revision it...

poets come and go
some we get to know
others live in obscurity
jotting down gems
on tiny scraps of paper
chronological pieces of mind
in shoe boxes,
thoughts of a woman
daze gone by, and bye
time captured in ink
for possible dissection
rainy day rummaging
looking for who we were

superb
a little twinkling gem

thanx for the comments
metaphor is so perfect sometime
for saying something without beating one over the head
cubby holes seem to make the masses more comfortable
but I've never understood nor appreciated it's relevance...

really nice a look back, but not stuck anywhere it's just a litany of a life like a million other lives it's what we do in the moments of trying to live and feel okay and if you are lucky, you can get to a place where you just breathe and appreciate what you have and where you are is okay it's just ...

No I just like it but I like a lot of other colors too it was you that asked for only one So, how did you come to pur...

capitalism is like a sadistic game of musical chairs someone is always finding themselves without a seat......at the table it's a glorified ponzi scheme with manipulated data to keep you believing unfettered growth is not only unrealistic, it's impossible and the fat cats know that collateral damage...

thanx very much for all the comments...diversity of thought is very healthy...and helpful.....

thanx jana...well actually i get a great deal of enjoyment from painting and writing, but how is it possible to be objective about any of it....? it's not up to me whether any of it is any good..."that is up to you ".... 8) ....

I don't care about clever I want to be honest with you I am a Flying Wallenda completing a death-defying stunt walking a wire in the stratosphere between truth and embellishment between two-tone nimbus clouds floating in a sky of stormy weather that challenges my vision to see the world with brillia...

thank you colleagues....appreciate the feedback....

raw truth
acceptance
facets once front and center
now memories only....
we shift
our eyes fail but our mind
sees clearly
it's so easy in retrospect
you know what they say
after the fact your vision is always
20/20
