I remember the old, old board that was black with red dots marking the thread topics. I think I started lurking there before the tour in 2000. :? :oops:
that was the old, old, old board ten yrs ago...was it not? :wave:

sounds right - I remember getting my pc in my flat in 99 and felt like xmas when I found the pj website - it had a hand-written letter by ed as the front page if i remember right - wonder if anyone has the text noted down. I also used to go on the bbs - alt.music.pearljam in 1994 first off. They had a thread called the rumor pit I think it was, or rumour slayer - and it was run by two people called DigitalKat and OftheSea..... remind you of anyone??

i wonder if my poems argue with one another when i close my notebook
if 'porcupine earth' and 'to the debris! now rafts' argue over
the rights to describing my obsession with driving alone
or if 'world piece' and 'songwriters' debate over whose opening line
is better
or even if 'impostor's creed' is in some sort of property dispute
with 'hymn for her' over whose weeds are growing
into whose garden, etc.
they are, of course, on consecutive pages
i wonder if jotting this poem down into that notebook might ease some of the tension
if the other poems will read this one and learn a valuable lesson
realizing that they each earned their page and their place in my heart
or maybe this poem will simply cause more tension
"why does [untitled] get to criticize the rest of us?"
asked 'quarter century blues'
maybe this particular poem will get a big head
and start judging the other poems

currently wondering if finsburyparkcarrots is the longest serving active member of this community. Certainly the only one I remember from those older days. Respect - keep on keeping strong!!
that's because we goof up and then have to change our names
many of us have been around a while
but didn't "join" until 2003...even though when i let my acc lapse they only allowed me to have back to 2005
prob same for others
so you and landed here at about the same time, eh?
i think maybe as we grow older, we get into different things, such as poetry for example, we run into different groups of folks that we may not have met earlier.

same name since 1999! still have plans for world domination......
(think my membership lasped one year whilst I was otherwise engaged)
otherwise engaged? hmmm...interesting..but then, isn't everything you say? a real mystery to behold
world domination...i think you're close...very close (*cowers in the corner...but still reads the poetry)
peace,

I'll leave work in 11 minutes,
and not hear my own voice until i return to work on monday.
this makes me sad
it is sad to me too
but is it sad for you wolf?
or is this what you wait all week long for?
one never knows what's in another's heart and head

Radar upright directionals
darting across my yard
each muscle glistened in brilliance
past me standing still
if I remember correctly
And the other half flew the distance
of living out fire beyond before
they only say it once
I’ve said to forests
what I’ve said to no one
"I’ve said to forests
what I’ve said to no one"
that about sums up life doesn't it?
sad, truth, loneliness, secrets, love unspoken, unheard, the soul shall be broken, if not for the forest
absolutely ..... absolutely.... well...i can't find the right word for it..but i love it, really do

Otherwise engaged - probably meaning 'involuntarily detained at her majesty's pleasure' -( not that place, the other place - our special place. known to only a privileged few). I'm full of mystery until you know what I'm talking about - then I'm clear as the bloody daylight!!
Things are picking up round here - there's sizzling poetry cropping up on every corner - people fucking, fighting and forgetting out on mainstreet - posters are being exchanged hand over fist for vintage vinyl. I'm mellow on green tea, cigarettes and the history of island records lp (1962-1987)-right now it's the israelite:s - getting nostalgic for the time when people other than pearl jam gave a shit about music - and for once I'm spoilt for choice about which thread to post in! It's a rock and roll sunday indeed

I especially appreciated the WIP series in the early to mid seventies....yes, I'm old...but I was young then
Yes, you are a mystery....someday perhaps I will understand. Until then, I'm enjoying the mystique.

i love you people
thank you

a theist in a temple
a theist in a line
strange prophecies at the local grocery
the p.a. system is heard by all
by the boaters in aisle seven
and the convicted child molester eyeing the lucky charms
grinning, a theist judges us
the cashier rings him up
ten percent off evian bottled water and wonderbread
bottle of red wine broken in aisle three
expensive wine
what was the price? a theist wondered
a theist goes to the nursing home
to be alone with his father
you are something else.

I am tired; my heart is
sick and sad. From where

I'd love to hear how that sounds. Has it had an influence on the type of subjects you're focused on?

if i could
be around you
your belt could be my bible
while the holy trinity plays
connect the dots
to hold starry pants high
navy blue backgrounds
construction paper kings
drawn with crowns
kindergarten mispronunciations
and the phone rings
a bell that cracks over and over and remains
the sound i hear climbing ladders
if i could
