For Remembrance

My ideas are fleeting and I like to tuck them into a poem for safe keeping... With hopes of improving upon them another day when I am, free of clutter... Sweeping out the cobwebs, awakening the spirit and free thoughts of my computer Nerve becomes never quite easily___Typing at will---free and fleeing___fingers don't fail me now!! Nerves keep firing to the right receptors, and polish the shine right in the paragraph of me... If there is a paralell universe, what is the other me like?...antipoetic? or a grand poetess? Tall? or just pure ---something? (Rapid snapping fingers to fill the silence) Think...Think...Think!!! Photo carbon copy of my former self...Inhale and exhale, repeat...Don't forget to keep repeating!!!

Yes, Doris, it is important to bring your thoughts to paper. It is also important to go over older poems and writings to change them or to add new thoughts....Very well penned!..Tahnk you for your kind comments!..Yes it is amazing how the oak barrels seal up. Did you know that some destilleries use old oak barrels formerly used for port wine? They add a special taste and color to the whisky...Have a great time! ...Gert
