dude... y'all rock

i started to read from the beginning of this thread & made it througha few pages. enjoyable reads for the most part. yeah, some were long, but so are some of my poems, so are some from the others...it's just part of writing, there is no length police in writing, so don't worry about it.
my favorite line was the one about the candy wrapper hitting the street...i forget the name of the poem.

i also like the idea for the pearl jam poetry press publication. i don't know how well that would fly with the band though and using their name. i know they are great guys, but it seems like a legal hassle.

keep writing, even if it's just for your own personal gain. i wouldn't place much value into what others might think or not think of your work. keep a level head and don't get full of yourself and be one of the good ones.

anyways...i'm just taking a break from crazy and my homework

I chose page 5 to go back to, today, and oddly... I find I've missed one... Of course Lunar Echo begged for attention, but you know, who am I to pick favorites?

and

My dear Sir, 'tis YOU rizzocking zi hizzouwze, btw... I like being on top, but it's your turn today. ACK! my PC!!!! Save me! Kisses... Me

I dedicate it to Savannah66 who is fighting the good fight.

And, I realize that this is different from my usual stuff, but it is real and it was real and I really did tip 45% that night. I'd do it again. Especially if my waitress was a girl named savannah....


MOTHER/dirty wash cloth

Waitress
They said
White trash
Poor
They said
She served me well
Not that I’m chauvinistic or anything
But
Hell
I felt like royalty
She deserved a tip
Didn’t trip
And even yelled at those people behind us
Who got so annoying
Words failed me
For a change
Brown hair
Withered smile
Mother to all that pay witness
Caring beyond our right to receive
“Punctuality is optional,”
She said with a small smile
“When you have to rely upon line cooks.”
We laughed courteously
Only a few of us truly understanding
Where she was coming from
Which was off her last break
Something like sixteen hundred
Hours ago
She smiled again
And shuffled off to some other destination
Lighting up the much needed cigarette
A silent discussion
Aside
With the apparent manager
A haggard looking man
Occurred
In which we found her name to be Julia
A twenty-something
On the road to somewhere
In no particular hurry it seems
But with import
And persistence
She was light on her feet
In the heavy hours of the early morn
A ballerina in servitude
Pinocchio on strings
On her way to the real
Real
And she was the best
That I
In my fascinated haze
Gave her 45%
Only because fifty would have broken me
She touched my hear with a menu
And limitless freefloating time
Her blue eyes sparkled
And I don’t think
I’ve ever had
A cleaner table.

Cheers, mate,

You know, and I’ve been wondering, you know, all the way home
whether the world will see I'm a better man than others by far.
You know, I’ve had it so good, how loathsome, and not quite my style.
Work and vanity wasted my time inside, oh, you see me in a cardigan
and a dress, dress, dress that I’ve been sick on.
Oh, how are you? Can't say I really care at the end of it all,
actually, oh, well there's something I’ve found, it's that we're just flesh and blood
and well, now, just one thing I’ve found, it's that we're just flesh and blood.

And you know, and I’ve been wondering, you know, all the way home
whether the world will see I'm a better man than others by far.
Ooh, how are you? I shan't say I really care at the end of it all,
actually oh, there is something I’ve found, it's that we're just flesh and blood,
well, now, there's one thing I’ve found, it's that we're just skin and bones.

Actually oh, there's something I’ve found, it's that we're just flesh and blood
and you're nothing much more, there's something, just something I’ve found
it's that we're just flesh and blood and we're nothing much more.
Oh no, what did I do wrong, individual doubts.
Just one thing I’ve found, we're just flesh and blood,
nothing much more, something, just something I’ve found that we're skin and bones.
