Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

you lie in your pond ,love
deep in the woods
reading your book
i sit on your strange shore
making amphibious sounds with my lips
then I close my eyes
you begin to laugh
I say "What?" without opening my eyes
you answer "You should read this book,
there's some really funny shit going on."

quirky.. i'm with you till the last line were, subjectively speaking of course... ... you loose me with a cheap line.

~westie

sounds like love to me

you lucky, devil



i liked the poem

very much

i still have not read the book (the fountainhead) that my 2nd wife gave me 30 years ago.....inspired writing i must say mingo...........

hi mingo,

just want you to know i'm not a beeotch. i really enjoy "The Book"; it is inspired and that is why i was taken by surprise at the final line.

don't get me wrong, i'm a modern woman and artiste...

it is just that i felt the poem was of a higher order than using the word "shit" -- but that is hip linga franca -- so, i beg your forgiveness/understanding if i have offended you as a poet. that was not my intention.

best,
janet

hey westie...no offense taken...the last line led to the piece actually & I wrote that line exactly as it was spoken to me...I usually don't mess with something that comes up to notice like that...let me ricochet off the wall here & say when you come upon a burning but unconsumed bush the best thing ya can do for yourself & your reader is remove your sandals & just listen...you treated me well by saying what you thought...thats real courtesy & respect in my book any day...

...and to doreen & wireman thanks for reading - Wireman, thanks for your comment, glad you enjoyed - doreen, yes, sometimes I do end up with the shiny, usually thru no fault of my own - thx again for reading,makes the whole show worthwhile.
