perpetual jam!!!!!!!!!
Re: perpetual jam!!!!!!!!!
mornings are cooler
tomatoes still producing
the circumference shrinks down
but the taste holds fast and sweet
there is truth in the weather
she never lies, she bares herself
each morning, we feel her chill
time is her paramour , her seasoning
sprinkled over the plants in the garden
they know all to well their fate
the withering that comes with september
and october's yellowing, the orange of pumpkin
I don't remember any more who I was
a new man full of medicinal concoctions
parades around the house pretending to be me
he's slower and more awkward , he bumps
into the doorway, his perceptions are off
but he tries nonetheless, he smiles nonetheless
he is a man for all seasons despite his alterations
muscle memory and routines fake their way thru the day
nothing to complain about, just noticing the changes
I am merely a scribe with fingers that still type
the odd thoughts that embed themselves in this head

Re: perpetual jam!!!!!!!!!
We continue
Kiss upon her cheek
As in our minds, she is here
Her words sing loud and clear
We may not know where now
Yet I hear her as ever before

Re: perpetual jam!!!!!!!!!
Feeling the universe calling
But unable to facilitate
I’m wired but the signal is wavering
Where to begin?
The message didn’t say

Re: perpetual jam!!!!!!!!!
many poets have gone away
to that place where oxygen isn't necessary
but there is one that didnt simply go to sleep in her own bed
she came face to face with the oldest evil known to man
hatred
hatred born in ignorance and simplistic nonsense
her mindfulness wasn't enough
her peaceful demeanor was ignored
by barbarians
men and women without souls and eyes
without sense for the sentient
so smug and self-righteous
so eager to stop the hearts of innocent strangers
anxious to play deadly games not on a video screen this time
but for real, with the same killing mindset
and total disregard for trying to understand
that many on the other side of the fence only want peace
oblivious that some have transcended their childish simplicity
monsters with thoughtless notions and devotion
to following orders
zombies
zombies
mindless hateful zombies

Re: perpetual jam!!!!!!!!!
the perpetual jam must go on like the wire-man
must go on about the stars and the orbs beyond
so I add to his legacy and type what comes to mind
because to me it s not so much the words as the effort
there is something special about the continuation
words strung out become the connection between
life as we know it and life that we can only imagine
I share myself with you and you do the same when you can
It is a story you see, the lore of poets, the jones of creation
this you see is more than a jam, it's a marmalade

Re: perpetual jam!!!!!!!!!
winter
short days, long nights
cold and wet
gloom and desperation
the arctic wind
claws at the cabin
finding its way in
through the cracks -
so throw another log on the fire
another loaf on the table
refill your goblets
and hoist them in remembrance
of those who once sat at our table
now their chairs are empty
silent
so we jam in their stead
sharing words
memories
essence
reliving warmer times
trusting that they shall return
in due course

wired haiku
a combo....
dino writing in lower case
sans punctuation.....
lightning rod blowing
his magic flute
all on a celestial stage
the continuation
of tangible bones
going to dust. renewal
the spirit is electric
it touches our memories
with fingers of pure energy
fingers of love and respect
a tap on the shoulder
a twirl around the room
they inspire me to keep at it
because that's we do
that's what they did
creation, determination
inspiration
this is our home
just as real as the one where
I sleep
our home away from home
some poet once said
or I guess it was a poet
or someone unsatisfied
with the confines
of wood and brick
a combo....

Saturday night
moon a big white ball
drawing my eyes
through the branches
to glimpse
the power of light
way down here on our
only planet
the one we seem to ignore
at times, but oh she's trying
to forgive us
by hanging on by threads
of neglect
and so I look for the joy
the love in the faces
of my circle
of connections
and take another hit
from the vaporizer
which starts me Blue Dreaming
i hear the thumping
from the bass next door
and low spark of high heeled boys

Re: perpetual jam!!!!!!!!!
foraging for sustentance
traveling through the pathways
that wait for me
the journey can be arduous
even when you don't leave your chair
what is someone long in the tooth to do
but search for meaning
what have I been doing here
what do i want to do going forward
or what do I do if I feel I'm sliding backwards
to place likey with no return
then what
how will i cope if it all gets worse
or will i even be aware enough to know
something dramatic has taken place
these are treks of old men, the zigzags
through the neural network of possiblities
the forks in the roads, the spooning long gone
I wonder where she is tonight, the knives
of discontent long buried.....maybe she's just
as tired as I am

Re: perpetual jam!!!!!!!!!
teeth are not so long
and spooning still in tact
turning corners take my hip
where it shouldn't be
all parts in a semblance of order

Re: perpetual jam!!!!!!!!!
Each moment
I feel
But I can’t facilitate
It’s forever
But it’s right now
I can’t make right
Its all coalesced
Yet I’m stuck
in my own selfish place
Wanting acceptance
As I fight to be alone
Upon a rictus grin
I can not be normal
I’ve made sure
But for it I yearn
This dichotomy is my life
And Upon this truth I struggle
The spoon is sharp and my teeth are dull
Horny for words my young self ignored
Hoping for fulfillment
While just watching, waiting
For the heavens to open up
And prove me true
Whilst knowing all the same
It’s a childish game
that can’t be won

Re: perpetual jam!!!!!!!!!
I played the spoons
in a bluegrass jam band,
kept the beat with taps to hands
and thighs, while another guy
blew on the mouth of a jug,
and a washboard rhythm master strummed.
We were the percussion section.
Played a bit of guitar and plucked a banjo too
in my time. All just memories now
illustrating this rhyme.

Re: perpetual jam!!!!!!!!!
I opened a brand new jar of perpetual jam
it was sitting on a shelf in the pantry of my mind
the lid popped open with a whooooosh
and out came these words.......
Hello my dear colleagues
so nice to engage you once again
if you happened to be shopping for jam
it's not expensive, all you need is a wireless connection
and a desire to seek out other humans
and I am pretty sure that you'all are not aliens
but it's possible.......
but who cares
we are communicating
and that's a beautiful thing
