Imagination Nil Daydreams Still

Imagination Nil !!!- Daydreams Still !!! Inspiration - no long born of, imagination lying in deaths arms. Creation - no longer lives in, daydreams in decay alarms. Imagination and daydreams have little force and no charms. Function for this brain seemed best served at realities door. Compunction, for inspiration and creation – for me – where little more than some insignificant attainments resurrected from my memories store. All is gone, slips into the a void, an abyss of the forgotten, where all decays, lays there in the dark and goes rotten. Thank heavens for imagination, daydreams from some, for inspiration and creation brings forth what’s to come that can, that will bring the good, or the bad, from the minds with imagination and daydreams – it’s done.

I see you have a new post sire. I am glad that others' imagination and daydreams are able to feed your soul to come out still with creations where your own are nil and no longer lives (?). Was I correct in arriving at the conclusion, sire? I doubt however, that all can be attributed to others. This piece clearly shows this. Hugs and smiles on a bright, sunny day from the land of thousand isles. :D Kim

Good morning my Lady : Sorry, not quite my Dear, “ Was I correct in arriving at the conclusion, sire? ”, “ I am glad that others' imagination and daydreams are able to feed your soul ” I was just seeing my state of being in the scheme of things and praising all those with the knowledge, the wisdom, the education and the talent to go forward “ Thank heavens for imagination, daydreams from some ” but not as food for inspiring my stuff. The only inspiration for me, come not from other writers, but from within – that place I know not – or from the personal experiences I have had with others and my perception of their psyche, their baggage, their hang-ups and telling of their nature and what nurtured their personalities as well as mine of course.

So my Dear, you are right with “ I doubt however, that all can be ( nothing consciously anyway ) attributed to others. ” ( you see this in “ This piece clearly shows this.” ), Poets, not even my forth cousin, E Pauline Johnson – a famous Poetess, from the past, who hob knobbed with King, Queen, Royalty, etc., etc. . “ P.S. I have l learned that the reason many have read others' posts ” Thank you for the conformation Kim, of the conclusion I came to, some time ago, that might partially explain things, but not all and as you know from personal experience, I do , when commented on, answer that comment and reply in kind so I think the lack of response has to do more with my subject matter, the essence of that subject and the lack of technical knowledge, the simplicity in an uneducated attempt, at mostly rhyme, rhyme being at the bottom of the poetic ladder, old and out dated as a professor of poetry once wrote me back, in my attempt to come out .

I am most appreciative that you “ as I did with yours ” did, but in saying this, am a little sad to think that you might have had to endure the heart of much of my stuff, stuff that brought to you this “ connection ”, for I would not wish many of the experiences that became the essence of my stuff, on anyone !!! Isn’t this the truth “ I may have made it part of my daily habit since I came across one of yours, sire.” and it is keeping my one finger hunt and pick answering very occupied . “ Hugs and smiles on a bright, sunny day from the land of thousand isles. :D Kim ”. Back at you Kim, from this vast land of over 32,313 lakes - on this bright and sunny day . PS. So much Kim, for all my auto biographical written diarrhea. Must be boring you to tears by now ???

“ the reading and commenting on creative pieces they have formed a connection with, as I did with yours ” and there you have it my Dear, “ formed a connection with, ” and it seems that, that is not what is the case with most of my stuff, my Dear ! Example, – you have posted 13 poems during 3 months with 4045 reads, generating 173 comments, as foe me, posted 43 poems during 3 months with 4103 reads and only 33 comments, most of them are from you – that, for me, clearly means there is no “ connection with” my stuff by most of whom have been kind enough to at least read what I put out there and that is alright Kim, for I only did it for fun and at the advice of the Oriental Lady I mentioned earlier.
