some of my stuff

[verybaddmom]

i just found an old book of some stuff i used to write. i thought for fun...(if that's what one calls it) i would post it for response.

caught in the current
like a glycogen starved leaf

toss turn tumble twist
through the fog, through the mist

confused, nervous, not afraid
this is the bed that has been made

eventually - the torrent will cease
every day dawns bright, life's lease
renewed.



hope springs eternal
someone once said
i assume from that statement
he had never been dead
where there's breath, there's life,
i heard once before
i bet he never begged
to breathe just once more.


oh look, she said, a flower
oh look, he said, a car
who cares, they said together
i care, said each to the other
then i care, they said to each other.


yeah, well. i was young
(except for the last one. that actually happened on a walk not too long ago)

Oh, I love them. :D You write like Emily Dickinson too. (Practically all my teachers have said I write like her.)

[verybaddmom]

oh..thank you...i think. i guess i should read some of her stuff to adequately evaluate your comment. ;)

[amuse]

i like the rhythm of the first, and the "glycogen starved leaf."

"i assume from that statement
he had never been dead"
[ooh,] very clever

[Suetang]

I really enjoyed your musings, thanks for sharing.

Take care........Sue

Hate to burst your bubble, but leaves don't store glucose in the form of glycogen.

[amuse]

so the liver does. isn't that poetic license?

[verybaddmom]

strangely my bubble remains intact. art is not always about accuracy.

and besides i think that glycogen wasnt actually the chemical that i was thinking about, but for the life of me i cant remember the name of the one i was thinking of. what is that stuff called that flows in the vascular system of evergreens? is it glycenol? argh.....bad memory. oh well.
