for Petra and John. I wish you love.
Some one had to add some reality, so I've taken the chance, all be it reluctantly in the beginning, but with a happy ending after all:

Spring, is now here
the earths first change of seasons
is done for this year
now, for us humans, to the one
the first task of the first season
has all but just begun

It's spring cleaning time
chasing away winters grit and grime
taking out the dusters and brooms
the rags and the buckets
the sponges and mops
the soap and water and trusty vacuums

completing the task, room by room
the upstairs and the downstairs
sanitize and reorganize, the inside affairs
then outside to manicure and trim
to make way for new growth
with much love and care

there is work to be done
as work is and work goes
this work is the closest to fun
preparing for growth and growing
new life and new love, now everything glowing
before summer has come

so, jump into the task
with both hands is the plan
with a wipe and a swipe, a heave and a ho
a sweep and a mop
and before you know
the cleaning race will be ran

then the other part of spring time
that we all have waited for
the spring of enjoyment
the spring of renewal
the spring of fresh fun
fresh spring fun by the ton

so, with an attitude of gratitude
and appreciation of everything and everyone
a search for new love with just the right one
unless you have one already, then keep playing with them, carry on
and watch as the love hunters
seek for their special one

It has it's very own gravitational pull Rollie, can pull you in all directions, send you over the moon, pull you to pieces at times and to places in the past you've already been, got the t shirt mate which the Mrs keeps clean so now it's only gravity induced poetic mind wandering or day dreaming :wink:

Thank you, John.
The very one,
from the very first,
once I recognized,
that he had arrived.
Appeared right before our very eyes.
The very one wanted and needed
had verily just arrived
in every one.
He is, the one.
John. 8)

I took the words in your post and rearranged them with a few words added for this note John:

"With my t-shirt on."
"Mind only, so now
the "induced gravity" got
produced propensity and
it's been unseasonably hot
which has added to
such "poetic mind wandering or day dreaming."
Mate, I had forgotten
a geezer moment for sure
How is the Mrs?
Best of all best wishes.
sincerely meant that,
you can bet your britches.
Cheers,
SBLS :wink:

this is a shorty, wrote it on another thread as a lyrical passage within a note of thanks. A simple start for a R&R ditty:

yes

I was hypnotized, mystified, tantalized, mesmerized,
when I realized
that what you want
is what you see

so tell me
could I be the one
the only one
the one you see

the only one
the one you want
is me

Changed a few words around hoping it'll read better. Thanks again John:

is it fun to write?

Looking up to the sky
to see what would happen today
would the sun come out to shine
would the clouds block the sun again
just like yesterday or
would there be a change
well, in the blink of an eye
just a moment lets say
I knew the answer, more of the same
no sun, only clouds with pouring rain
wondering what to do about this
then I thought of a way
keep busy at home, inside I should stay
listen to music, read a book
watch television but now and then look
out the window at the raindrops falling
on my sheltered little nook
cascading down to drench the ground
and quench the thirst of the grass and trees
the plants, the flowers
then fill up our backyard brook
that runs into the creek
keeping happy fishes swimming
minnows and bluegills, catfish and snooks
when I looked out now, daylight has gone
night-time is here, it's darkness has come
and the rain keeps falling
but no worries, not a one
so I'll stop writing now
seriously, this was all in fun, lol

For Adey

This farewell song we're singing for you
'cause we miss you so, yes all of you
when you were good or bad, happy or sad
just having you near us, we were glad
we aren't worried now, we know where you are
you're on that big stage in heaven, playing your guitar
playing originals, some choice covers too
and when the crowd wants an encore, you'll play 'em the blues
so please wait for us there, we'll come when we can
then our band will regroup for a heavenly jam

miss you much Bro

Added six words,don't know if it matters much
still the same song, just a second touch
write some, so you can,

say a few words
what could it be
a minute or two
two and a half or three
those moments pass
only this time left some words
in memory of moments passed
could they be happy ones
or informational perhaps
ones about the weather that we're having
or ones about experiences we're having
or that we haven't yet had
a description of something
this is a Fender Forum after all
describe a Fender guitar
I'll start
beautiful
or a description of .......

How about this,

Fatty and skinny went to bed,
Fatty rolled over and skinny was dead :-b


I'm not quite sure if that's what enjambment actually is. As far as I can remember from my literary studies, enjambment is about run-on ideas. If you've seen the movie Inception, enjambment is similar. A thought or idea within a thought or idea, oftentimes providing a break or distraction from the main thought.

Here's an example from the Wikipedia page on "enjambment." The specimen text is from Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale.

Quote:
I am not prone to weeping, as our sex
Commonly are; the want of which vain dew
Perchance shall dry your pities; but I have
That honourable grief lodged here which burns
Worse than tears drown.


The stanza's main thought goes like this: I am not prone to weeping, but I have that honourable grief lodged here which burns worse than tears down. The other ideas are "enjambed" within that main thought.

Sometimes it makes me wonder whether "enjambed" and "jammed" rhyme out of pure coincidence. :D


haringwati,welcome to the Forum. An overdue welcome, 20 Feb.,2011 overdue. This is a great post as enjambment is a peculiarity that occurs from time to time when writing. :D

Overlooked
a forget to look
the wonderful expression written
your attention took
mine as well
my thoughts of sounds
of my woman singing
I know what it is not seeing
that sound starts a feeling like
the calmness of a running brook
as it tumbles over pebbles and stones
to a lakes hidden nook

Thanking who ever you are for
sharing your communicating skills
I find them good for the soul
a balancer of emotions and
an enlightenment for the mind

Love, I've written about it
many times on this Forum
and after all of this time
I have not tired of it's promise
and smile still at it's everlasting fulfillment

Where

where in time
counting tick and tack
where in thought
wondered alas and alack
where writers write
with wit and tact
were it a
little knick and knack?
only just a
small bricka brack?
to look and find
words of such kind
when together chimed
make this tiny rhyme
so looking took this time
with a bump in mind
bump

Autumn is settled all around
the season when trees shed their leaves
to let them fall softly to the ground
this year's third season of the sun
a signal that summers warmth is gone
and winters cold chill, the years fourth and last season
is on the horizon, so, soon to come
Autumn, when the bounty of the harvest season is gathered
and the glad celebrations begin
to give thanks for the fruits of the earth
and to prepare for the cold season ahead
so, what will we do here in Fenderland
the home of Big Brothers* and, Sly Sisters*
and two of the finest Grand Dads* a musical family has ever had
why we'll play some music, after all it's what we do
and keep the heart of rock and roll beating straight on thru
to the time when everything is new
that time of season that rhymes with ring
funny how it happens, a ring of hope and of love
strength and of change to a new season the very first each year
thankyou Fender Lounge Forum Brothers and Sisters
a ring, a circle, a family of musically connected Brothers and Sisters
and Autumn, is settled all around
and don't know what to write next :oops:


Big Brother* - Rare Earth song, when ever I hear that voice it reminds me of my Big Brother always looking out for me.

Sly Sisters - the Ladies in the band Sly And The Family Stone brought so much to Sly's table, beautifully sweet to mighty and ferocious, musical inspiration.

Grand Dad's* - Leo Fender and George Fullerton who are in Heaven working on some new prototypes I'd guess :D

Hey how’s your heart
in need of a jump start
I got the leads and a battery
and a tongue full of flattery
and a photo of a beach
I bum about on a Saturday
a job that pay’s well that
helps fend off calamity
keeps a roof over my family
and allows us to dine well
whenever we hear tell
of a short ride away hotel
doing a 2 for 1 meal deal
so c’mon roll up roll up
don't sit around feeling moody
get your heart all zapped up
just hold this ...and this
while I see to the battery
and we'll all hang about
on that beach on Saturday

MY poetry? :shock: Well, you asked for it - BWUHAHAHAHA!

The Limitations of Mortality in the Moonlight

In the darkness of the night
Upon a dying planet
I wander all alone
Upon a moonlit path
Through a blackened forest
Until I come to a clearing
Where suddenly I wonder
How I came to be here

I feel malevolence around me in the shadows
A cold evil begins to flow
And in the mirthless darkness of the night
I must face it all alone
Unprepared and vulnerable
I feel a chill run down my spine
As I realize the limitations of mortality
Lost forever in the moonlight

There is nowhere I can run
There is nowhere I can hide
Alone in the darkness
I cry out to the gods for mercy
But hear only silence in reply
The beauty of the starlit night sky mocks me
A cold wind blows across my face
And in a night I now know will never end
I realize...
I am no longer a member of the human race.

I tweaked the lyrics a bit, but here it is on my YT channel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFUOt7rLPo8
