Cafe Writing March/April 2009 Project: In the Garden
Option One Poetry
Weather means more when you have a garden. There’s nothing like listening to a shower and thinking how it is soaking in around your green beans.
~Marcelene Cox
Using the quotation above as your inspiration, write a poem (any form is fine) about weather meaning more

Weather
In a garden
Nutritional diet
Healthy balance of sun and rain
Eden
~
Living
This century
Odd cluttered smorgasbord
Humanity needs images
Plastic
~
Meaning
Nature's future
Rich feast or starvation
We hold the pattern of weather
Loosely
~
Our hope
Our tomorrow
Rests with Mother Nature
She holds rights to eternity
Tightly

Spirit of Movement

One Single Impression #50 ~ Movement

Sea change
Sailing somewhere
Inner sense of swimming
Digress or regress vaguely
Movement

Movement
Risking unknowns
Inner sense of flying
Progress from one point to the next
Trying

Over 50! And Motoring!

T.S.Eliot's poetry has never failed to intoxicate me! In fact, his sunlight on a broken column, his midnights and lamp posts, his female rhythms mouthing Michelangelo pleasantries are all bound up in the "overwhelming question" of our real biorhythms and souls! ~ We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out. ~~~~Ray Bradbury ~~~~ Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass. ~~~Anton Chekhov ~~~ Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music. ~Angela Monet

AUSTRALIAN BLOGGER

Footfalls echo in the memory, Down the passage which we did not take, Towards the door we never opened Into the rose-garden.- T.S.Eliot .............................. My page was too white/My ink was too thin/The day wouldn’t write/What the night pencilled in -'The Book of Longing' Leonard Cohen..................... Creative discord of fractured harmonies! Between the Question and the Answer is A Hush... A Whisper... A Dreaming...

The grit of raw desert lands whirls on the winds in erotic rhythms - sometimes. - Greyscale
