About Me

In the dark of the night, when my family is sleeping, God talks to me... he jumps right in my body. He says, �You are not my friend... and you are not my son. You�re just a little space I�m using... to hide some of my silence.�

- Jim White

Thanks for the review of Panic. I'm glad you liked my jaunty rhythm. I think I imagined this as spoken word, which is why it has such a strong rhythm. Yes, this is one of 3 poems I wrote while in the hospital last weekend. (The middle one, for unknown reasons, was a light love poem.) I am OK now, having probably sent a gall stone packing.

Thanks, Jonathan, for the review of Admitted. It is odd the juxtaposition of a hospital admission with a relatively cheery rhythm for the poem. It's a lot cheerier than Panic, which I wrote at least half a day earlier in my stay. I think I made the rhythm jaunty in part because I was talking about the rhythms of the hospital. Got to have rhythm. LOL.

Ha, do I know Rumi. Yes, I have. I recently started reading his work. I read his work and thought, "Wow! This is how I was meant to write," not so much that I wish to emulate him, only that the way he writes is the way I think. You should check out Billy Collins. You might like his work. Anyway, thanks for reviewing my poem.

I am most glad to satisfy some part of your geeky soul. I really was trying to see if I could justify Europa, and Io too, but Titan is the one with the slushy seas heated by radiation. I actually did my research. LOL. Thank you so much for the read. Whimsy it was.
