I do so miss: I do so miss those old days. I think about them all the time. The ways we all danced around and played poetically. So many of us have mostly dropped off the map. Many blessings to you old friend.
I thank you. : My sincerest apologies, for some reason I have not been able to gain access to this site. I had originally thought it was everyone, until I was a random SM post highlighting they had just posted.
I have had to use another computer to gain access, but I am not sure what the problem is, as I checked my IP, and there are no issues with it.
Sorry again, I got sidetracked. Thank you for your kind words. I have decided that is probably that I have come from the Paul Valéry school of thought, more popularly known due to WH Auden’s paraphrasing “A poem is never finished - only abandoned”.
Yo, you I can handle..: Yo, you I can handle
To me you can't hold a candle
I'm the man who can take you
I'll shake and I'll bake you
Put you in the oven
Give you some good lovin'
350 degrees
I'll do as I please..
Thank you!!: Thank you so much I'm glad you liked it. It was not a concious decision just happy accident. I'm flattered that something I wrote reminded you of it though. Good song.
I appreciate your gracious: I appreciate your gracious reply. You have a real skill with the ballad stanza---something that has eluded me since I began to write poetry in 1994.
