I do use a journal... seldom change, scratch, or delete

"9-12-2013"

Summer's end ~

  crystals' sparkles

  dancing rainbows

  swaying branches

  ~ lazy air.

Laying here ~

  I taste the sun

  in your words,

  See the world.

  Feel each breath.

I live the dream

  within my eyes

  knowing ...knowing...

  I'm touching you.

Chris

What's that song by Seals and Croft...that's what I'm hearing here.

[Chris]

A very good one though I really can't think of it right now... How goes life Ken? The family doing ok? Students holding their own?

[Kenneth The Poet]

Life is good. Family is great. I don't teach anymore.

good evening LadyAnn

[LadyAnn68]

Good evening to you my friend....left you an email....I was rummaging through your writings looking for the one you read tonight...but found this one and just loved it...LadyAnn

[Chris]

both of tonight's are old ones... I don't believe either is posted here... though I could be wrong - there are quite a few here.

[LadyAnn68]

Send me a copy of tonight's reading...I just loved it! Should have dedicated it to ME! LOL hahahaha

[Chris]

I don't think you would have wanted the second one dedicated to you... and the first -- well, it was a "shared" memory after all...

[LadyAnn68]

I wanted to read another poem the one I wrote about Freshly Awakened...that one always makes me fell good! I will have some free time for a few months and will dedicating to writing...I have missed writing I have been so busy with trying to publish my first book and all!

[Chris]

academia...sigh... publish or perish...

[Lyn Anderson]

I really like this one as well. I have been going through my huge old written binder with nary a thought to manipulating fonts or putting up photos etc. - just wham, bam, slap em up and keep on - maybe I should reconsider this approach. I too am a "divine inspiration" free form sort of poet. Sitting in a bar, scribbling on a napkin. Except now, my napkin is a netbook I carry with me everywhere. Guilty! It's been a while since I actually put a pen to a page, I think I may have to pick up a notebook again.

[imiey]

that is very creative of you

[Chris]

people forget poets DO write poems ...not just keyboard them - ya know?

[imiey]

some good art you got there

[Chris]

Thanks, I scanned my Journal's page.

[Ruth]

Inhale...deeply...and all I shall say is..you know how your words sail me xx

[Richard Layne]

A handwritten journal also doesn't auto correct. Ha ha. That was until not Neil.

[Chris]

Chuckllng here

[Richard Layne]

I used to use a journal Neil I continually missed some "perfect" phrase because I couldn't read my writing anymore. :). There is something to be said having the on in your hand--it feels good.
Really enjoyed this Poem Chris especially I live the dream within my eyes.

[Ees]

I love it. I feel the fall. I feel the content of touching someone else. It's short and it's there and I enjoyed reading it.
good job!

Beautiful.... tasting summer's end on my lips reading this.

Of course its Spring here and Summer is yet to be... but your words took me there.
