in the garden of the poet tree
in the garden of the poet tree
bubbles rise
inside my head
this silent gurgling
before the gale
a purge is on the way
high fevers, twitchy ears
there's something going on in the attic
she needs a good sweeping
cobwebs brushed aside
brooms of poetic straw......sometimes
we need to deep six the clutter
get rid of that old exercise bike with the rusty chain
pull out your most trusted pen
find a quiet lair, you won't need the peyote this time
just a yellow pad
set that function to the desired number of healing
1. is Ooze
2. Gentle babbling brook
3. Rolling waves in a river of absinthe
4. is whitewater in the rocky canyon of un-ride-able stallions
pull up the anchor
cut the chain
see what happens
it won't even bother me if you..... mix your metaphors...

Re: in the garden of the poet tree
Lovely rendering of a fine poem. (I, too, have had most-trusted pens, but sadly, like dogs, they don't live long)
Your voice is so much more pleasing than mine - softer, somehow, more rounded. Calming.

Re: in the garden of the poet tree
LOL, you know I can't resist a challenge
It'll be a day or so before I can take the dare - been bitten by another tick, one of the bad ones apparently - doc wants to see it before prescribing any meds. In the meantime - the audio takes shape in my mind.......

Re: in the garden of the poet tree
take care of yourself (oy). May the Poet Tree protect you.
Re: in the garden of the poet tree
Well, the NP took one look at the rash on my arm and wrote me a 'scrip for doxycycline. Definitely a tick bite, & judging from the size of the hole it left, probably a deer tick (Lyme's primary vector).
But I got home in time to do some recording. As of now I'm nearly finished - sheetrocking's done, finish flooring's laid, just doing the trim work now. I'd like to wrap it up today, but I haven't done my PT yet and since I blew it off yesterday, I really should do my stretches & exercises instead. And so I shall.

Re: in the garden of the poet tree
Thanks Judih. I thought that the most appropriate music for Steve would be that sung by the Earth; and since I've been collecting natural sounds for years, I had plenty of raw material to assemble an ambience. It involved 5 separate stereo tracks, plus 4 more for the water sounds. My reading made it 10.
"Garden" makes me think of summer - and I strongly associate 3 of these sounds with summer: crickets in a field, distant cicadas, and the call of the veery (that haunting, descending cascade of notes). Jays & chipmunks are session players you hear all the time, so I included them, too.
Ahh, another indisputable sign of summer just showed up: a daddy-longlegs atop one of my computer's speakers. I have an inward-opening front door on which I often see them, and I think they get in by dropping to the entryway floor when I open it. Time to catch & release......

Re: in the garden of the poet tree
I hope you don't mind - I set your reading to "music" - I think it suits your unhurried, meditative delivery
