[Zlatko Waterman]

Hello stilltrucking / Jack:

I still like your little essay about Mid-List authors.

And I have returned.

I sent you a PM but you may not have received it yet.

Best Holiday greetings,


Zlatko

Just a note to all reading this thread... there are missing posts in this thread, so some of the conversation may not follow. But still, that's OK. Just wanted to explain.

Ah norman so happy to hear that from you.

So happy to see you still kicking

waiting for the continuation of your comic strip
waiting for more art
more poetry
more culture and politics
yes I am a Zlatko junkie

got the private message, yes
even as much as I dread a private messages
i am always pleased to hear from you
one of my sock puppetts got a strange private message about this poem,

Soldier from Kansas by jim turner on studio eight

Grant me this leave. Let me play
my part where my helmet is hung
on my piece--well out of your way. *
Have no word spoken, no song sung.
I would not hear. See? I ignore
red fury; hot, metallic rain;
my shaken bed; the battle's score.
I will neither move nor explain.

Once, on your strange world, I stood tall
for one who weeps to have me found.
Quiet her far, importunate call
with a clod of this callous ground.
Let me sleep! Her Kansan tears fall
in Oz, with an alien sound. **

Jim about 2000

Sorry about the pupette show


I tell you Herr Professor Zlatko it is a "poetry emergency" for me everyday.

Where are you? "Are you waiting for time to show you some better thoughts?"

The Friends of William Stafford

Fair use policy I think it said.

I sure do use it fairly.
