you would think
a poet
& a musician
would have more
to say to each other
at the end of the day
than this:
I am making lentils
& rice
for dinner,
unless
you had something else
planned?
Yes,
at the end of a day apart
my lover,
let’s not talk
about what’s for dinner
& instead
have a banquet
where we fill ourselves
on dreams
the things
that should feed us
because together
we are starving
*****Uhhh ohhh, she launches into true emotional poetry–someone call Blue Mountain Greeting Cards–a star is born! 🙂
Yay! In my book you did just launch into the fowarding to sig. other catagory. Love the diversity in posts, so cool. Keep going!!!:)
🙂 That’s my life in 1 word–diverse 🙂
awesome, strong, intense, direct! beautiful poem – though I would have used – fill/fuel ourselves on our dreams instead of stuff! Fill has a certain sensuousness, (partly because of its homophony with feel) which stuff with its suggestion of haste/excessiveness/gluttony/physicality dilutes in a way! A song, another duet, already hums in my ear drums with the persistence of a bee trapped behind a transparent polythene membrane, struggling to escape to freedom!
🙂 fill will work much better there–I jotted this while I was hungry–will try that out. Love the image of the bee–is it in your bonnet?
I’m game to try for a duet #2, if you are…..
Would you like to start #2, or shall I? In dancing, I am a much better follower than leader 🙂
I am tech challenged and do not know how to activate the opinion mode/comments you used for the first duet! problem of an aging male!
I had some difficulty with it myself 🙂
I can send you a blank draft, and you could just sing & send–but not past midnight your time–do not want you to turn into Cinderella’s pumpkin!
That’s what I’ll do–then I can set my steps to your beat this time 🙂
cool! let’s roll!
sent it 🙂
done! over to you!
looking now!
