Poets, like it or not, get it or not? CaptCliff
Jiminy Cricket I found your Jiminy Cricket Bound and Gagged Hogtied to my weeping willow tree Covered in your spider web silk Wrapped up like a mummy Prince Some stealthy sleuths Some shadowy gang Cut his heart out With razor blades Garroted him with piano wire lies Finished him off with a single shot Of ice cold self deception I would rather have found a horse's head In my fluffy white down covered king size bed Such a noble conscience deserved A far more conscious And less bitter end |

Telling the truth is usually the best start in writing. And I believe I've made my thoughts on this particular piece of yours clear *smile* About time you jumped ship and joined us Captain. |

oh yeah, one more thing...y'all know Chinese Emperor Qin's terra-cotta army....8000 beautifully detailed ceramic soldiers buried with him for his protection. If something happens to me...I want to be buried with 8000 clay figurines in the likeness of Katie, Denise, and Alicia. I mean it....

Would you care to share ashes with us instead? |

definitely the latter inkraven....i have come to know some of u and can only marvel at how real (truthful)the words/work is...in a world/society that appears to have become masters of superficiality...like reality tv. More personally, since u dont know me...I have only recently "crossed over" (nods to John Edwards) and left the safe confines of my therapy chair to attempt to tell MY truth versus nodding alot and saying, "I understand..oh it looks like our time is up..". Oh yeah, ask the other peeps...I'm sarcastic...but not mean. In fact, I bleed alot...and seek solace in a place with people of depth .

Muchas gracias pkd, and dkowench dont worry...anybody with wench in their name is supercool with CaptCliff! ....and..I just realized I want to change the phrase noble conscience with "exquisite corpse", which has several layers of meaning, all very appropriate. I am so afraid that the reader wont "understand" that I make dull compromises (in wording)that are either too obvious or just wrong...hey, I'm learning!!
