Addicted To Writing

I wonder if Wright ever thought himself wrong, before making an actual flight? I mean, pigeons heckling him, from the tin roof's ledge (Oh yea! They do laugh, a sort of subtle, mocking coo, a snickering choir Wright all too well knew -- as if only pigeons flew probably more upset that it was not Kitty Pigeon (bemoaned a Homer of the Township's naming decision) (damn hawks always got the greater glory!) – despite what pigeons did during the perilous war story, risking beak and tail, so our nation would prevail -- and yet, still used, primarily, for Chow Mein and free-range stew, as if humans yet had not a moral clue) (But I digress. Should be cautious: feathered Ears everywhere... myself soon expecting a head full of taunting goo – followed by cooing laughter~ daring me to take offense~ just try to sue!) – And now, it is high-time I confess this write not about Wright, not about wings, nor pigeon mess – but more about being bored, with presently not a thought worthy enough to intelligently address.... Addicted to writing.

Hmm...what is left? I'll need to ask someone more deft. My neighbor has one of those GPS's; helping to avoid wrong guesses. Thank you, Kim; have a great New Year my friend.

Pigeons are a pest really. They dirty my pavement. Loved your poem.

I hear you, Victor; though I have seen some rare, coop pigeons that were the most beautiful, graceful birds one could imagine. About your back: I left a comment on your last poem that may be helpful. I don't know. Blessings my friend.

What the heck: it's like muscles, one has to exercise the writing even when one feels blah....

i would say Joe this was highly entertaining and quite reflective of my own weirdness, impatient one simply becomes the Charge of the Light Brigade kind of like Teddy pulling an imaginary sword and charging up the stairs in Arsenic and Old Lace....ya just never know what the poetic mind might produce...scary i know, but, it is the price we pay when the Muse is across the street drinking....loved the humor
