Sometimes being in the middle of lots of things doesn't help in understanding, at least for me it seems to make understanding more difficult. Sorry I was in the middle of everything then and didn't catch this way back when I should have. At that moment as in this one just wondering if you're OK Riley.

Have you talked with your physical therapist? I am going through another battery of tests later today and you know I'm not a fan of repeating myself but my sister told me to just let them do their job otherwise they might become unwilling to help. So maybe a talk with your therapist will prompt them to do something to help you and at least it will go in your records as an issue for them to address sooner rather than later. Stay strong Riley, and when you talk with them tell them everything that you're feeling and maybe they can fix your situation. Sound like a plan?

once again she is calling me out
on my rhymes casting a doubt
first emotion felt in my mind
"why does she tweak me all of the time"?
then thought, "might be she's write this time"
"if I can't think of a memorable riff"
"its just a waste of a usable giff"
tweaked I felt 'cause I wasn't rehearsing a song
I was staring at the TV for too long
so
in days of old when Vikings were bold
before paper cups had been invented
Vikings drank their beer
from the skin of a deer
after it had sufficiently fermented

ok, its not "mine" really
but she doesn't know that :lol:

Mable, Mable, get off the table,
The twenty dollars are for the waiter.

Bobby said to his 'roo
as he pulled at her tail
you know all the tricks
and I'm glad that you're able
but it's Uncle Ted's diner
so we must act a bit finer (doesn't quite fit)

Not my poetry, but one that has always inspired me...

Nature's first green is gold...
Her hardest hue to hold...
Her early leaf's a flower...
But only so an hour...
Then leaf subsides to leaf...
As Eden sank to grief...
So dawn goes down to day...
Nothing gold can stay...

-Robert Frost

"MY FRIENDS AND I"

My friends and I are quite the deal--
It really depends on how you feel--
We will make you happy--
We will make you feel sad--
We will make you cry like a baby--
Or make you get mad--
We will make you look at the moon with a tear in your eye--
Or make you feel sunshine out under the sky--
we will make you feel love so deep in your heart--
Or hate in it to that depends on you--
If your willing to listen we are willing to share all the love in our hearts--
And the songs in the air--
There is one more thing to say before I'm through--
My friends are my guitar and harmonica to--
The voice is mine and sometimes you--
I hope that you will keep singing along--
With that kind of help its a much prettier song--

Danny, 5/28/11

Tim, reading about Robert Frost one of Americas most beloved writers and his massive collection of poems and plays and writings, contrasting that to William Shakespeare the UKs most beloved writer and another that would be almost impossible to describe honorably and I would need assistance from our UK Bros, I will give Robert Frost some time/thought.

Danny, cool poem, keep up the good work Bro.

for the "rain" thread, keep your powder dry. 8)

Forecast for some rain today in Chicago

rainy day woman
rainy day girl
rainy day ladies
in ribbons and pearls
watching them scamper
through the raindrops they prance
trying to dodge the wetness
with a daringly cleverly shy raindance
sometimes taking shelter
'neath an awning outside
and pause for a moment
to catch their breaths and plan their steps
then start again their demure rainy strides
lovely visions all around me
dampish donnas assume their glides
I only wish that I had a vehicle
so I could offer all of them a ride
to where ever it is that they are going :wink:

" THE GIRL I LEFT BEHIND"

When I was 18 years of age
I left a girl behind
I left her behind and went to war
She didn't seem to mind
She gave me a hug around my neck and shoved me out the door
She acted like she had done it before
What I didn't know was just about a tear ago
Her mother said goodby to her dad
On that same spot on the floor
She had covered it with a rug
So that you could not see
The stains on the floor where the tears had fallen from her face
Her dad had left that very place
And never did come back
He was killed a little bit later while serving in Iraq
Now I'm in Iraq and still alive
But every day or so you see
Where a GI just like me has met his fate
I wonder if my turn is just around the corner
And if when it comes will it hurt to die
And will that girl that I left begin to cry
When she gets the news about me just like of her dad
My God this thing called WAR IS BAD.

"A BLUES SONG"

All the world's a blues song
I pick mine out of the air
Then I write them down on paper
And I'll put them away somewhere
When I want to here that song again
I just reach into my pocket
And unfold that little piece of paper
That I wrote it on
I'll set it down beside my old clock
The one that goes TK-TOCK
That sets up a little rhythm
And I begin to sing my song
I will strum it on my old guitar
and play it on my harp
The three of us make quite a sound
as you might imagin
Myself my harp and my guitar
and that little song
will be all the music I'll ever need
But if for some reason I do run out
I'd pick another one out of the air
and write it down on paper
and put it away somewhere

"HOW YALL DOING"

How yall doing Texas
I aint been here for a while
I just come to sing yall some songs
OK
I'ts saterday night in Whiteright, Texas
Down at the old grange hall
The night is hot
The beer is cold
And there's plenty of it to go round
There's prity women everywhere
I'm begining to like this town
We will play some old Hank, Willioms songs
And do the two-step to
man were going to have a ball
If yall have any requests
Rite them down to
Over there on the wall
we will do our best to get to them all
If it takes us all night long
And dont forget to by that good fried chicken
There fixen up at the bar
And them taters to
Now take a big pull on that beer
than get out on the floor
The dancing starts in 20 seconds
19/18/17/16/15/ 3 /2 /1/
HONKEYTONKING DOWN IN TEXAS
ON A SATERDAY NIGHT
WE************ *********
I could keep riteing all night long
And not say another thing
So I think I'll close this poem
and head on out the door.
