PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I certainly learned something: I certainly learned something from this, today.  I did not realize that Borges was self-taught; I presumed that, being a Librarian, he had studied formally.  I really love his Poetry and I presumed he had done some formal preparation prior to writing it.

This is a beautiful poem.: This is a beautiful poem.

thank you.  just trying to: thank you.  just trying to live and write in the moment--howver dramatic or mundane it may be

Just glad that you are: Just glad that you are pleased with the review process.

That seems to have started: That seems to have started with the 'Caution coffee is hot' disclaimer resulting from a lawsuit from a customer that sued a fastfood chain because the hot coffee that they bought, advertised as hot scalded them when they spilled the cup....madness, really.

Thank you for that comment,: Thank you for that comment, and the title suggestion.  I will be changing the title immediately, and I am now even more indebted to you for inspiration in both this poem and in its title.

Thanks for the reply.  My: Thanks for the reply.  My fingers no longer work well either.  Years ago, I played the Piano at church; and, in the days before the internet, I could type better than sixty words per minute on almost any typewriter.  But gout and arthritis has made off with both my musical contribution to church, and my ability to type on an actual typewriter.  I am lucky to get my laptop's keyboard right.  My physician told me, years ago, that I had the very rare genetic disposition to get gout in the fingers as well as the legs/feet/toes, and that, in his medical career, he had never seen gout in the fingers before he met me.  I just said, "Lucky me to be a rare genetic anomaly." and then begged him for a cortisone shot.
