Read my novel?
Long time Pearl Jam fan here, and just got back in the Ten Club (been leeching off my friends in the club for tickets when needed). Anyway, I recently finished my first novel after over three years of slaving away at it. This is a short description: ***** Seeking revenge, 8th grader Mark sets off a stink bomb inside the…

"Whispered Shades"
A time has come to choose. Hold nothing back with meaningless choices afoot. A fate, for all colors to fade, beyond yesterday. Standing solitary amongst the Grey. Yearning to stay with thoughts of running throughout. A longing to see those younger years without having to set the stones. Daring to dream amongst the Grey.…

Stuck
I feel like I'm impaled on the fork in the road. negotiating scenarios by the minute. Thoughts scattered, like birds in the way desperately fleeing a looming fate. God! what do I do? I know you can't talk to me, Maybe a message in a song. Free Bird comes on. I get the message, But my wings are broken. I change the…

Pearl Jam Poem - fiftybaby revisiting the past
I have placed the following Pearl Jam titles in to a sort of poem. Music does sensational things, and each title has several meanings to me. A weakness, strength, fear, smile, sorrow, rage, possibility, regret, need, dream, wish, loss, gain, girl, etc. On June 3/06 this is how I felt. "Once Alone I Am Mine You Are Alive…

One Small Fee
Spit in a tube for one small fee, Ancestry found my brother's of 3. Dear "Daddy" kept a secret you see, Because none of them knew the slightest. Oh, Cousin Oh, Cousin! From where did you come? I can't find my family, and you might know some. "I can't seem to help you", he said in reply. I was adopted, And like you I've…

One Minute Poems
A little exercise to stretch your creative brain cells. Set your timer/watch/iPhone- whatever- to 60 seconds and type. When ever this thread pops up, jump on it. Don't think ahead of time- just let it go. But try to think poetically and aim for some kind of ending. But when the timer goes off, that's it, you're done! OK to…

Merry Christmas,Let it Reign
Lazy days and warm winter nights sitting by the fire Sweet emotion and the smell of pine make me feel so high Wishing you a merry Christmas with all the joy it brings And all the love I have inside. On dasher on dancer on prancer In the name of Jesus it’s Christmas and Santa is on his way. Can you hear the sleigh bells and…

My Pearl Jam-inspired novel
As I mentioned in another thread in this forum, I've written a Pearl Jam-inspired novel. It's called State of Love & Trust, and it's a tragicomedy about love, trust, Detroit, dogs and Pearl Jam fans. After writing and rewriting this book between 2006-2010, I "trunked" it for a long time and worked on several other novels.…

"Regret"
A nothing dreaming of something unknown. Everything wanted, bought from this material view. What is needed, missing;
something to feed the Muse and the Soul. Both have died; the cup overflowing, waving goodbye. Go back to the beginning, the story was formless, the wisdom never
spoken. Sadness and Emptiness going
through…

can you feel it
November 23, 2013. 13:00 est. An ode to PJ. Realize in your instrument binaural brilliant light. spell-bound strings, lyrical seer in sight. Beat deep skin too the captive melodious heart. Waves of clay dance and sing; denizens in joyous part. Broken bone...t...casted in doubt. Jeff and Stone reanimated, rhythmic dual.…

Drifting thought
Saturday morning a Fall morning, slight chill kittens sleeping beside me I drink coffee they need two chairs now they have grown at night, sometimes they curl up on my heart it warms and opens so close, so real with an open heart I realize that there’s still some residual resentment and distrust of distant and windy humans…

A Lined Face
I sparked on scratch paper in pencil first, unmasked tentatively in temporary marks. When promoted to ink in confidence drawn I manifested presence determinedly pushed. I was a line sequentially mapping sight, smell and taste in biological order. My bowed itinerary through curvy landmarks swallowed pulp decisively until…
