Poems, right now are flowing undaunted My fingers have trouble keeping up Why, I wonder, does this sometimes happen Right now I'm overflowing my cup Fingers can't hit the old keys fast enough So afraid I might lose the flow At this ripe old age, my memory's kaput My old brain has definitely slowed For some unknown reason, I'm clicking along Using words I didn't know I knew Phrases only famous poets have used D'ya really think stardom will ensue Be assured, if I start making big bucks You'll all still be in my thoughts Afraid I won't be able to share my good fortune But I'm sure you'll wish me good luck! © Jack Ellison 2014

Go! Jack! Go!... Dragon, the Penguins, the Trolls, and every body else here... We're all behind you 100%. A good poem usually writes itself... Dragon and I wrote "The Bling Ring" yesterday. At our age you have to write them down while they're still hot in our minds... And yes, Dragon got in trouble for calling himself a psycho-analyst... The State took away his shingle... Tho I really like that shingle. The Psycho part fit him to a T... And not a TRex, Silly Dragon!... Gotta run!

Let them flow my friend. For when the river bed goes dry you'll ask yourself why you had the chance to write...and let it slip by. // paul

The flow right now seems unstoppable! Strange how that happens! Good morning my friend... at least it's morning here and we're about to receive another 4-6 inches of snow today! Long hard winter! Uggh, Jack
