It's funny, you know, how you can sit around thinking about what you wish to
be, and then, in one simple, unobtrusive moment the Universe, because you have put forth just a small effort, rewards you by taking you exactly where you need to go.

There is a distinct lack of light now that the snow has melted in a rare December thaw. The dog, who insists on a fresh patch of snow for each pee, amuses me with a doggie ballet as he performs his dance on the last, small mound. It's good to start the day laughing in the dark.

Passing Thoughts #12 ~ My Selected Blog + Twitter Comments for January 2011

1.01.11
The acrostic element is like an elemental whisper in the wings! It barely seems to control the lovely series of ideas in the poem. Especially loved "Sans a box, to put these sins back in," I am sure that Pandora's Box enjoys a mention! Great poem!
(in response to The Prophecy That is @ The Enchanted River)
This poem has dramatic guts, right to the last bristly line! Powerful!
(in response to The Dead Woman Poem #1 @ Poetry from Julie Jordan Scott)
Amazing character sketches of personas! Love the slight differences and especially love the real inner spirit imbued in the last very personal insight into the writer's persona!
(in response to Wishes! by Someone is Special)
A powerful drama of inner dialogue! Like a reality check... when dreaming is simply not enough for the thirsty inner spirit! A challenging piece of creative writing!
(in response to Becky Sain's ...and then @ First Pages)
A sensual journey through a winter wonderland vibrant with metaphorical innuendo and creative, melancholic symbolism. Loved this memory flashback!
(in response to Walking on Frost @ Brokenpenwriter)
My favourite image must be "the howl of time's inferno"...dramatic, Dantean metaphor! A rich poem laden with legendary echoes in a newly found cave!
(in response to The Homemade Wine of the Picaro @ Bill Sigler's Poet Tree)
A refreshing review of our spiritual birth! Especially loved the erotic enigma of the words:
"the kiss
of now, the rapprochement
of being and unbeing."
A beautiful, enchanting piece of poetry!
(in response to Meeting @ the uncrooked tree)
O what a delicious metaphorical romp through spiritual reality! The whimsical, playful charms of a child pushing boundaries is alive while the skeptical adult nods along secretly in the wings! Two personas as one! Creative!
(in response to New Year @ the uncrooked tree)
2.01.11
A novel interpretation of the photo! There is one level that is jaunty, devil-may-care and another that has a beautiful, whimsical thread of melancholy! And the final bravado is priceless!
(in response to Mrs Miniver Goes to Coney Island @ 8th Avenue South)
6.01.11
"Shredded papers" lead to shredded images! Like multi-coloured confetti...a celebration and/or a sign of the throw away society!
(in response to curtain of pebbled path @ Gautami Tripathy's blog rooted)
19.01.11
"shaved by a drunken barber..." What a finale! A brilliant piece of gross writing brushed/drilled with artistic flourish!
(in response to Tess Kincaid's Root Canal)
This poem is riddled with a melancholic whirpool! We may not know the place, but we feel the wild will of the waters! Sadly beautiful!
(in reponse to Chris G's Sustain)
24.01.11
It seems right that the cleansing place should be a thinking place cast in blue silence! Lovely poem!
(in response to Lynne H's poem 3am)
14.01.11
@ dgdreamin clicking and clacking / shiny marbles of my youth / appear in my dreams
(My Comment: Great sound effects! Like a jaunty little steam train!)
@ haikumonk snowman / in the afternoon sun / his wide brim hat / and designer shades / are not enough
16.01.11
@ FullMoonPilgrim: i am going to the beach...to cry a sea.
(My Comment: Sad and beautiful)
@ FullMoonPilgrim: wind crawls in the air / the night is dragged / by the sound / of mistuned / radio.
(My Comment: Creative and sharp! Beautiful!)
18.01.11
@ GossamerWinged
You speak to me~words of spun sugar~but I can't hear~my heart is numb
(My Comment: Sad, beautiful, silky sounds!)
@ lippy73
My life a puzzle / trying to make a picture / without a box lid
(My Comment: Great wry sprigs of humour in a very serious thought!)
20.01.11
@ ldwilkinson
early January / already / this new year shimmers / with a map / of scrapes and grazes
(My Comment: I connect! Beautifully expressed!)
22.01.11
@Kitaronetwork
1. Many years ago, when my soul seemed frozen, I found your music. Now your music still breathes creative energy and peace into my soul.
2. Much of my poetry (esp haikus) + photos (on my blog) resonate with the spirit of your music! Thank you! Namaste!
@ coffeeperc
he reads her poems / she writes / his shopping list
(My Comment: Great quirky irony in this!)
Two poems spellbound me this month
1. Joseph Harker's Come As You Aren't @ Naming Constellations...
I love this city: I love the lies uprooted from red clay
rolled between palms and heated in ignorant crucibles
to white white heat:...
2. Magical Mystical Teacher's haiku
carnival of clouds—
shadows chanting ancient songs
as the elders dance

The blog that continually spellbinds me is Kris'
This Will Hurt Me.
Each post title is a wry twist on conventional ideas.
e.g. If I take care of my character, my reputation will take care of me
Knowledge of human nature is the beginning and end of political education
You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jellybeans
Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action
Nothing is so admirable in politics as a short memory
The more we have the less we own
Meetings are indispensable when you don't want to do anything
Next to a circus there ain't nothing that packs up and tears out faster than the Christmas spirit
Nothing is stranger to man than his own image
History is the record of an encounter between character and circumstances
Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood
The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance - it is the illusion of knowledge
Many posts have delightful images of his world, his family in Hobart, Tasmania + a continual changing perspectives and "detours" on larger world features.

Carry on Tuesday #90 ~ We stay with children this week with the first verse of Longfellow’s poem The Children’s Hour:

One Single Impression #153 ~ Evening

Between the dark and the daylight
Slips Huckleberry time
(Like the yang of evening's yin)
A time to enjoy the adventures of impulse
Between the dark and the daylight
When the night is beginning to lower
Slips a time to enjoy
The bright lights of
Homelands
When the night is beginning to lower
Comes a pause in the day's occupations
To romp in the spirit of our river
A pause
We call

Water sand and sky/ Shoreline crammed with sunseekers/ Enjoy rare moments
Tiny character/ Hops around in happy dance/ A wren in motion
Creative white train/ Artistic item for home/ White magic for sale
Cafe by the sea/ Pizza and pasta delights/ Cute and welcoming
Blurred generation/ Gowned mannequins face the snow/ Invisible past
But in the 1600's/ Bold forebears shared adventures/ Famed Three Musketeers
Our cat is due for a vet appointment today!
Cage/ Worming tablet/ Booster injection/ Shave between the paws/ Cage

Impressive large beak/ Plenty of feathery bulk/ Pelican grandeur

Moonlight shadows/ Distilling the heat/ Melting the ragged shapes and
Rough colours of/ Today into/ Yesterday

Tranquil scenery/ A place to enjoy being/ Feel within beauty
Senior and junior/ Sharing a walk together/ A happy moment
Where the ocean rises to greet the sky/ I know she has sailed away/ Peacefully

Rippling reflections/ Enchanting dance of colours/ Like melting moments
Waiting for service/ Cars drain patience and pocket/ Liquid survival
Re-visiting Kitaro/ Re-vitalising the music in my soul
23.01.11
Diamond like shadows/ Sometimes laundries dress quite well/ Thanks to Nature's help
Blues on rolling blues/ Blue shopping by blue sea/ Touch of blue heaven
From a distance/ Earth, sea and sky/ Grow/ Daily dramas/ Numb
