This Darling Little Book

Arriving home 
I’m all alone
And feeling rather low
For as I open up my door 
Feelings of loneliness 
Permeate my soul
All around me this and that
Though I don’t take it in
But wait now 
what on earth is that
Upon my ‘Welcome’ mat
A package from abroad
Sent from you 
To me with love 
All negativity gone
As I open up your package 
My soul begins to sing a song
For inside there is love 
Wrapped up inside a book
I open it so gently 
As I take the longest look
At such exquisite images 
Borne from your artistes eye
And as I read the words 
From your poetic quill
Turning each page slowly
Gives me a wondrous thrill
This darling little book 
From my newly found soul sister
Even though we’ve never met
I feel
that I 
already know her 
Was it from another life
Or on another planet
Did you have a different name
As angels sing 
we meet again...

Premium Member Brothers of the Pen

KP: With embellishment aborted, 
sidewalk and street talk wail from paper. 
Tears vividly seen because cursive one's don't wipe away. 
An intrinsic institution allergic to plagiarized allegiance, 
we're born and bred to bleed blue from womb, and the wound. 
Traits of our soul incarcerated in a pen case 
presenting selfies that speak volume without an impediment. 
Lingual masseuses with mischief marinating, depending on
which taste of epic we prefer. 
We write to pulverize color barriers because underneath the shell
tethered laughter is majority. Lumen repair technicians 
dimming differences, a cultural mend from cultured men
adjoined through their pen.
Siamese artistes with an umbilical transporting manna from our 
third eye to feed the famine.
Brother of mine, break bread with your pen

RL: I too do not wish to embellish
So I place my ear upon the sidewalk of discovery
For I wish to hear the colour of your steps
Our souls are meant to breathe upon paper
The fibres of the papyrus bleed into our convoluted minds 
as we give of our panicked moments
Ours is a calmed darkness
A mimicking hope
Yesterday flows over tomorrowed possibilities
as we attempt to rewrite answers to those questions never asked
Differences float above our commonality
So we choose to dive below the surface
For beneath our papered skin resides the hearts of free men
Paper converted by pen becomes flesh
The bond of brotherhood
Tethered between minds
Transported beyond societies  perceived differences
For we choose to anoint  our spirits in blue ink!

Thanks Keith for joining me in this creative adventure.
It is a pleasure to write with such a talented writer.

Supporting Artiste

SUPPORTING ARTISTE
When I used to tell people I was a film extra, or ‘supporting artiste’ as we preferred to be called, they would say, “How glamorous, mixing with all those stars.” But, of course, the reality is not like that. You get up at 3.00 am in the middle of winter, scrape the ice off the windscreen and drive for two hours to the location. Having queued in the snow for your costume, you then sit all day in a draughty marquee waiting to be called, hoping that you might find yourself near enough to the camera to be recognizable in the finished film. You certainly don’t get to mix with the stars. Once I got a small speaking part and told all my friends to watch out for my big moment. But, alas, it ended up on the cutting room floor.

far in the background

split second of fame

Art for art's sake
Rich textures flow
Touch in one take
Ink stains odd glow
Stop for a bite
Taste brown cuppa
Reach out to cite
Yarn and supper
Reap fond delight


Style a nice feel
Pick picture plots
Art movement heals
Charm holds the spot
Etch kind goodwill


Choose your own feast
Aim to feel good
Fine coffee lease
Explore your mood


Glimpse of art wares
Address clear thoughts
Live artistes fare
Live action slots
Enjoy the fling
Rise to hot spots
Yield happy strings

Premium Member -A SPUD TALE

I would like to share a tale with you
About an ongoing Spud  feud 
Between two potato families 
And the shenanigans and antics pursued

We have the Tater Family
An extremely large family indeed
Round , robust, varied , versatile, 
Availability always guaranteed

The Sweeties are the other family
Long, oval, tapered , also versatile 
Orange and a little softer on the inside
Availability,  sometimes quite the trial
 
Now, the Sweeties think the Taters common
Often heard yelling ‘You are rotund and quite frankly cheap and crass ’
Many of you are a shade of ugly unripe green
AND~
You are always getting smashed!

Well… ‘HALLO’ , responded the Taters
Have you looked in the mirror of late?
You are certainly no oil painting 
AND~
Whats that weird hairy bit at the end of you mate?

The Sweeties retaliate with fervour
Well, at least, we are healthy, special and sweet
Popular, sought after and make a delicious pie
Known as POET-ATO …..a favourite with artistes!

‘Yeah right’ ….reply the Taters 
Did you know we ARE known as the people’s spud?
Always available and at hand to help
AND~
To be quite frank Sweeties
When the male spuds wear their jackets….they are considered quite the Stud!’

Now,  this feud may always continue 
Their  differences may always be their fuel
HOWEVER~
There is one thing they will always agree on

SPUDS RULE!!
