  1. It all just seems to bubble out of you, Q. I'm fascinated with how easy you make it seem.
  2. Spruce trees like monks with robes hanging to the ground conceal secrets never told (Kind of on a jag with trees, huh?)
  3. Norway pines bristle at the rumors blushing beneath their woolly-green coats
  4. Birch trees leave little notes scattered on the forest floor
  5. Wow! This is the most intense thing I've ever read from you, Q. I take it the visit has been difficult. Sorry, But it is really brilliant in it's use of anger, I can almost hear you preaching to him. Peace to you Q, Tom
  6. Quaking aspen whisper together spreading forest gossip Rivers gather, babble, join in a rush to spread the word to the sea The sea rises into the heavens bringing the word to God
  7. Wow, this is some good stuff here! I think you're getting your stride. I wish I could have a donut, but I've got enough clogged arteries right now. Keep 'em comin', I'm beggining to enjoy this.
  8. The world is at once a passing shadow and final fact. The shadow is passing into the fact, so as to be constitutive of it; and yet the fact is prior to the shadow. ~Alfred North Whitehead~ Shadow Facts The world a passing shadow And yet a final fact The fact precedes the shadow but The shadow makes the fact A tale of worldly origins Not what I had in mind A passing shadow roadside trip With nothing left behind By never giving all that’s asked To satisfy with less Bewildering the analyst Who finds himself obssessed Not what I say but how I say Is what’s important here Forgive me if I haven’t made That absolutely clear Don’t look from where the shadows come For nothing’s really there Keep well in mind the final fact A shadow from thin air And still a shadow passes by To clutter up the fact A new interpretation of A never-ending act The fact precedes the shadow but The shadow makes the fact All facts are final shadows and All shadows passing facts ©2007 Thomas L.

  10. There's nothing hard about toads they're really soft and squishy One good thing about them though At least they don't smell fishy
  11. Glistening shiver Glances off my email page A blast from the past
  12. This is very good, JohnnyBee. But I don't see it as either/or, I see it as both/and. If it were mine to play with, I would join the two either as: Dusk, shadows, all still whispered breezes through the trees now comes the hunter Old house stands alone empty hearth, untended yard waiting for someone Which is still a little abstract, but tells a story. Or you could reverse the order of the stanzas: Old house stands alone empty hearth, untended yard waiting for someone Dusk, shadows, all still whispered breezes through the trees now comes the hunter And you have the introduction to an epic. Anyway, it is not mine to play with. Did I mention how much I like this?
  13. No one ever said she doesn't have a temper but it's a cute one
  14. OOOOHH! You are so evil, Q. On a scale: 1=Ghandi . . . . . . . . . 10=Osama I'd have say you're a 0.
  15. Please continue now with haiku so eloquent sorry to intrude
  16. Hi, Q. I've been right where I've always been. Where've you been? I tried to email you, but you never wrote back. I thought maybe you were mad at me. Thanks for the poems, I hope you know I'm putting them on your page. You didn't say I couldn't, so you musta meant I could. Love, Dabby
  17. It's that "fade" that's always so sad!!! Love you and miss you Connie I haven't completely faded from existence yet, but I have been going through some quantum fluctuations recently that have had the effect of completely compressing my time dimension. Besides that, I been pretty busy, but I try to check out the forum once in a while even if I never get any further than the Bards. I do reply to any IM's or emails from the board, though. I am flattered that you miss me, Connie. I often get the sense that no one notices when I leave the room. I'm pretty sure there's a clinical diagnosis for that syndrome, but the name of it escapes me right now.
  18. My measly attempt A haiku pronounced: "Hi, Q" Followed with a fade
