FLYING HORSE CAFE: ANNOUNCEMENTS & INTRODUCTION

[Steve Plonk]

This introduction will welcome readers to my artlog, FLYING HORSE CAFE.
I will post poetry & penny haiku here as well as maxims, funny thoughts, possible photos etc.
Thanks to Doreen Peri for making this artlog possible.

The majority of my poetry has been moved from my Column, "Life in the Horse Lane" to
my new Artlog home for it, "Flying Horse Cafe". Readers, you are welcome to read the Archives--ie., the locked threads. My Artlog is ready for posts as of August 14, 2013.

WELCOME READERS TO STUDIO 8's NEWEST ARTLOG. LET THE FLIGHT COUNTDOWN
COMMENCE.

[Steve Plonk]

One of my favorite proverbial sayings:

A Persian Proverb:

“He who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool—shun him. He who knows not and knows that he knows not is a child—teach him. He who knows and knows not that he knows is asleep—wake him. He who knows and knows that he knows is wise—follow him.”

As Davy Crockett said to Congress: "Follow me to Tennessee..."

Herein are the lyrics to "Stewball" my mascot for this Artlog & my Flying Horse.

STEWBALL, THE RACEHORSE

as sung by Peter, Paul & Mary

Oh Stewball was a racehorse, and I wish he were mine.
He never drank water, he always drank wine.

His bridle was silver, his mane it was gold.
And the worth of his saddle has never been told.

Oh the fairgrounds were crowded, and Stewball was there
But the betting was heavy on the bay and the mare.

And a-way up yonder, ahead of them all,
Came a-prancin' and a-dancin' my noble Stewball.

I bet on the grey mare, I bet on the bay
If I'd have bet on ol' Stewball, I'd be a free man today.

Oh the hoot owl, she hollers, and the turtle dove moans.
I'm a poor boy in trouble, I'm a long way from home.

Oh Stewball was a racehorse, and I wish he were mine.
He never drank water,he always drank wine.

Re: Where am I hiding?


Sorry, folks, I will not be able to post very often, in the next few weeks.
I am having "hard drive" problems with my computer.
Hopefully, in a few weeks, my computer will be repaired.
Thanks for your readership. Hope to see you again soon.

what a tease! really.....

[Steve Plonk]

I got some of the bugs worked out in May. I WAS unable to post for a time. However, I forgot to update this announcement after my last pet died. Creative Soul, thanks for stopping by.
A tease? Really? Yes, I really DID have technical problems!

[creativesoul]

sorry about that- i do have that tendency- so enjoy it= glad ya got it worked out-peace

[Steve Plonk]

Creative Soul, Thanks for reading. Appreciate you muchly. Hopefully, the hardware will stay fixed.

i like the name- this morning the mind is taking me to the black hills not being for sale- you just never know - about these things- i smell my spaghetti - i have to get into my apt soon- my room mate does not cook- it gets to me-

[Steve Plonk]

Really pleased that you appreciate the name of my Artlog. Thanks for reading & posting.
For some reason, my site has not had many posts lately.

[creativesoul]

perhaps- i have not caught on- to posting here yet- is there yest another way? other than what i am already doing-?
clearly as time rolls by- the incremental re-education i need and behavior modification- as in some ways i am like a monkey-

[Steve Plonk]

Creative Soul, It's cool to read the poems & stories & comment, too.
Appreciate you being on my artlog. Feel free to get beyond the introductions.

[b][/b]just when i thought i knew something- ......i found out i was -- almost hypnotized by the exlirs of the colors changing in the trees= all the randome fragments of the past present and future are falling
to the mother earth and i pray to a rising sun--have no clue what photo this is also- there is so much beauty
i wanna run outside and kiss the sky- where is jimi hendrix this morning- in a world with janis joplin postage stamps 0----

All is well, it's nice to see you.
If I had a choice I'd buy a VW bug for sure, an automatic though.
What would you pick up?

[creativesoul]

A two toned red and white vw van- 2012 version but she still has those curves-
A winning lottery ticket and I would start a thing called " run away girls with artistic flare" why waste time
Really
I love coffee
But I am at the gym with the idea of slipping into the hot tub- in yesterday's wet suit- smuggling cat liter for my friend with a broken neck
My dog waits patiently for the " frisbee" philsophy to truly catch on....
