Hi all... Not too much to say. I'll post as I get things worked up. Hope you enjoy.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

My fun for the day:

An augmentation of Descartes:

Je pense
J’essaye
Je sais
Je suis

-me

Thought it was cheesy at first but it makes more sense after a while. As a progression. Not an absolute. ok done philosophizing for a while.

*************************************************************************************

Now for the real master:

"...But yield who will to their separation,
My object in living is to unite
My avocation and my vocation
As my two eyes make one in sight.
Only where love and need are one,
And the work is play for mortal stakes,
Is the deed ever really done
For Heaven and the future's sakes."

From Robert Frost's "Two Tramps in Mud Time"

anyway, now back to the regularly (rather, not-so-regularly) scheduled poems...

1. Evan Fields
First chapter in my new novel project, I'll try to update when I have the time.
General - Fiction Rated: K+ - English - General - Chapters: 1 - Words: 1,101 - Reviews: 0 - Updated: 10-22-05 - Published: 10-22-05
2. Respite for the Weary Student
Another in my gradually develping series of Frost emulations. The rhythm sometimes breaks but I thought it made it more true to his style, less forced. A possible 4th stanza to fit in between current #3 and #4 is in the works. Please R&R

3. untitled 2 reviews
Based on an idea I had a while back. Deep metaphor, Grappling with how the leaves still crackle after a rain. I guess you could call it stream of consciousness in poem form. the rhythm's non-existent so don't look for it.

4. Refrigerator poetry reviews
originally made with those little magnteic poetry words on my fridge. which would explain the general incoherence. (small set of words to work with) edited to attempt to recreate the effect.

5. Flow reviews
Single sitting impressions. I originally had it in stanzas but this format seemed much more fitting. I'll probably end up adding more lines. What do you think?

6. Ode to the Mosquitoes reviews
Wrote this in the Colorado backcountry at 10,000-ish feet after having fasted for 2 days. They're horrible up there in the summer time. Not a masterpiece but it's cute and the rhyme's simple. please R&R
Nature - Fiction Rated: K+ - English - Humor/Horror - Chapters: 1 - Words: 104 - Reviews: 6 - Updated: 7-15-05 - Published: 7-15-05
7. I am Thomas reviews
Religious allusion but still told from the perspective of someone just trying to figure it all out... A wish

8. The Apology reviews
And after all of the sturm und drang, the conclusion to the mope-ish poems. A realization late in coming, and still inadequately expressed. coming along

9. Angel Eyes reviews
Was told to write a song by my english teacher. just out of the blue... came up with this one while on the lawnmower, still working ont eh chord changes though the rythem is pretty set.

10. On the Oath
Written in response to a previous work "On Inadequacy." A little vague again but the emotion gets through I think. I feel the resolution is necessary but is it too sudden? please R&R

16. An Ecstasy of the Cents
Whitman emulation/parody. Not meant to be that funny more subtly scathing. Originally written for and English assignment.

As always the sequel not as good as the original but oh well. Some things I've found out over the last couple months. Wish this could be gentler...

23. Shoulder Angels
Wasn't particularly happy with myself the night I wrote this poem. Just kind of dumped a lot into it. Have you ever had a war inside your own head? Here's what it sounded like...

26. The Backwards Man reviews
This is the first of the 2 AM stories. Woke up in in front of the fire one night and scribbled these down. The rhyme is silly and kind of masks the depth but I thought the irony was fitting and it worked so... Suggestions welcome, as always.

27. No End In Sight reviews
Another English assignment. This was last year. Was feeling particularly uninspired so I wrote about-what else-not having anything to write about. Kind of superficially deep if that's possible.

28. A Lost Cause reviews
This was originally an assignment for Freshman English. I found it the other day and edited it a little. Still missing something though. Suggestions are welcome.
