nice

I look always look forward to starting my day reading something you have shared with the folks here on Mingles.

Thank you, and may you have a blessed day.

Loved it..

Tommy, I've read this a couple of time and thought, where did your inspiration come from.

elle, mo, 2 kids,

Listen, I'm so very touched. Thank ye all.

The basic construct behind the making of the poem, " The Witch " :

For me, first, I set out with a clear base - based unique phraseology. And from there I start with a common basic theme. In this case I pulled up against the laptop this morning ( Fri. Jan. 23rd, 2015, ) with cup of java and ciggies nearby and began to think. The very first thing always, that seems to crop up is what I play forward with. In this case, ' Witches'. So I gather's me thoughts and starts dancing these keys. Soon a flow begins and I start building from there. A lot of simple back and forth. Well, you know how it goes. Word construction. The formulation of a theme based, again, unique phraseology. The playing off - of a word, or phrase. Simple word play.

Be well everyone and thank you. I respect all of you, I do,

What might you do with a basic theme like "roads less traveled?"

Mo,

( Ie: "Roads Less Traveled" )

Hon, well, I'd probably start with that very title and work forward. Concentration makes our slenderline processes flow. Interesting ye ask. I haven't, as of yet, allowed this'n to play out, but I'd rather wish for you to do so and come up with something. I think it would be good readable content. Care to give it a whirl?

Be well, mo, and thank ye for everything. I respect you,

I would love very much to view your piece. Please formulate normally and cast forth your intent. Formulate and write elle, for me.

tommo

Thank you Tom. You are an inspiring poet. You read my very first poem and will try to write another.

I've written a couple using this theme, I need to find and tweak. I thought you might have fun with the theme, just your sort of thing.

Hey Tommy .. I felt like I was in that room with The Witch .. a very insightful and evocative work that is .. well done Sir !

Nice one Sir

elle, mo, joe the, vitsec,

I'm deeply touched noting you would lend your comments. Thank ye all so very, very much.

elle, yes, more work please. I for one hunger to feel your depth.

mo,

I'm so warmed knowing you've taken to this piece. Thank ye, Dove.

Vit,

I, too, have felt myself right there in her room. I've seen the old wooden walls and the nearby candle lit and glowing, showing the dulled yellow color in an otherwise dark, cold room. I've smelled the wafting gray smoke emanating from the old fireplace. I've imagined the raven's place being housed on a branch somewhere outside, through the cracked glass window panes. I've seen all this basic darkness - in me mind. I've pictured the old witch sitting there in her old stuffed, ragged chair near the window formulating spells in her mind. I've watched her from afar - while being there in the same room with her, like some haunting ghost peering nearby. Seems to me, your casual writer of the obtuse, your poet, that we all have a little bit of the witch in us, be we male, or female. We were all born to be there. We're all 'The Witch' in our minds.

Anyway, please, again, may I thank ye? Thank you all,

tommo / Ireland
