Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

This gives me an idea.....for a topic.....thanks 68 !

Ahh that Lawrence Welk
I used to fantasize about him
imagine
that secretly he tucked a pack of cigarettes in his T-shirt sleeve
listened to 'Satisfaction' by the Rolling Stones
passing his spliff to The Champagne Lady
the two of them just laughing their asses off

Vivid and chilling. That awful moment when you're suddenly aware, that one person you don't want near is standing right there. I know the feeling well. And it is just another day. Wonderful portrayal. Thank you!

I remember a spring
about the year 1990
living in a friend's garage
because we defaulted on the Spanaway house
how blessed I felt on a February morning
having sunshine in the front yard
so when I washed my hair with the garden hose
it didn't feel so bad

used to be 'erebody wanted cable because it didn't have commercials what the fuck happened to that now drug companies advertise...not through reps hawking it at the doc's office... they hawk it directly to the consumer!! ask your doctor about...but make sure you tell him if you have a contraindicati...

I need a friend
one who has a boat
just a dinghy or a schooner or something that will float
I need the friend
to have a well stocked bar
in the galley
dance and party and rock that boat
like they do in southern cali

california dreamin' ...........

a shame the tomato is so lonely
I hear they're full of lycopene
besides they taste delish
and stop free radicals
fun to throw at speeches !!!!!!!!!!!!

had it all planned out--
my outfit for the day
blue dress dark hose
--->> sweet open toe pumps <<---
morning coffee
five lumps
((yes I'm a sugar fiend))
damnit why bother
planning shoes and gown
fucking rain on the window
all pissin' down

haven't even begun the move yet, cuz no job has been obtained to date
wondering if I'm going to end up moving even without a secured job
my management company is all over my ass to either sign another lease or tell them exactly
when I'm moving out
wish they'd get off my fucking back
bitches

I didn't forget the Jam
I just had a lot of demons on my time
I mean demands

I love this poem, 68. How you describe that your father articulates his presence through a rusty nail. Brilliant. I think the essence of our loved ones is left behind by them, and they give us little reminders in surprising ways.

Enjoyed -- thank you!

Doreen, you didn't fail to understand my 'point'....I failed to make an actual 'point' and that's pretty Ok with me for the time being I just chose the name 'rayburn' because I like it..plus remember Gene Rayburn used to be a game show host -- the headlines I used were not actual ones from The Onion...

Ahhh. ***pausing and thinking calmly of this*** It just may be that peeps are like me only time to post and run but not to hang round having fun I often bitch to myself that I waste far too much time working and sleeping and cleaning and applying rather than doing all-important pome things A regrett...

I'll see your 2 cents and raise you an Amen. Thank you Ton. I'm considering what you said very carefully because it went wayyy over my head. but not really seriously you really give excellent advice, appreciated will revise or edit or whatever they call it, and expediently so just in need of another...

'minds me of Seaside, Oregon
sweet place

I like the signature quote on your profile. Can't agree more. Makes me want to adopt 'Dignity is for chumps' as a motto. Very inspiring.

lovely piece, thank you ---
