Basho on my mind (writer Wednesday's)

Writer Wednesday's
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No vacation wandering
Although a sojourn would be good
& plenty interesting for sure
Keeping it short & sweet
That's what ole Basho did for sure
Traveling the deep & narrow road
Traversing the interior of space and mind
An interesting experiment here in Frederick
A time to write in cool spot called Area 31
A film studio/art space I've been showing at recently
Room for about 50 people I imagine
There's only 2 of us here at present
But it was full for a screening of "Fantastic Planet" Monday night
I'm not sure if this is poetry or not but......
Well, I thought this would get more AirPlay here
Started out with Basho got a bit off track
Over an hour into this now, approximately
Kinda fun writing in silence
Except the hum of a fan/heater
Now it's total silence
There's gonna be a bio pic called "Mifune"
Narrated by Keanu Reeves about Japanese
film legend Toshiro Mifune here
Friday night, I'm going for sure

That sounds like a great place/idea - sounds like poetry to me - I'm a bit isolated up here on the Plateau, nothing like that around here but if I left now who would ride all these back roads for me? Enjoyed 8)

wonderful, wireman -
writer wednesdays. wow
There was an online start-up offering online poetry cafe - with webcams to share the sight of others sitting and writing. Loved it, but they couldn't keep up with the writers when they asked for other features they'd like.

writing together in real time sounds very cool. (i love the "shut up" requisite)

Did inspiration wash over you this time, however fleeting?
