so yeah....

I just thought like saying I finally got my prize for winning third place and second runner up for this stupid literature contest at school... I won ten bucks though. Yay! Ten bucks... Well, I at least had lunch money this way... I really went over board though, I bought a $ 7 meal at Mc Donalds... Seriously, this is living the high life. Seriously, If I had realized they were paying me, I'd have submitted more, or better, poems. Ten bucks though, and two ribbons and a certificate of acheivement... wow. seriously amazing.

Give us a bone. Toss us a poem.

Jack and jill
went up the hill
to fetch a pail of water

Jack fell down
And broke his crown
And jill came tumbling after

Touche`.

Ok really. By accident, I fell over your poem "Fingertips"..
(anyone,anyone..) That was quietly awesome. I don't know if you just banged it out or what. But it's eerie.

It's very direct. Undiluted & non-flowery. I get a mental impression of erractic scrabbling at wooden surfaces; an inherent sense of knowing one's losing it.. mental scrabbling as well. I've been there. Everyone's been there.
That one would find it's welcome on any poetry webring. Seriously.

Addendum: You hit like a brick wrapped in velvet.

ooooh boy...
Sorry Espernaut, that would be a very nice compliment if I had actually written that. Those are song lyrics for the song "Fingertips" by an artist called POE. You should hear her songs, she's not too well known (not to my knowledge anyhow) but she's really good. That song was off her first album "Hello", but her second album "Haunted" was even better.

Even better! Set to music. I'm having trouble finding an mp3 on the net, but I'll keep searching. I did find all the lyrics to songs on the Haunted album (you still say "album" too?)and will read them at leisure. I like getting new directions. Thank you for the info. 😉

Wow. My first emoticon.. and it Wasn't what I'd typed. What esle don't I know @ this board?

My favorite on the Haunted album is "Wild"... lol... I wonder why...

That's the one I'll read first (lyrically) then. K. I hate dropping off w/o warning. But,this has to be the last post for me, this night. (I've enjoyed the banter.) Later MM

congrats for morgan 🙂

and this reminds me that I forgot to share that I've been contacted by some UK based publishers who want to publish my poetry.

Forgot to add that I ACCIDENTALLY DELETED THEIR treetrunkING EMAIL, but that's okay, I'm going to find them on the net and email them back.

lol phoenix, I think I got the same email... They said they read some of your poetry that you had published here, and they want you to send them your favorite poems so they can publish it there, right? I don't know how they could have read any I published here, sinse I didn't publish any here. I think it's a scam. They only sell the books they make to the people who contributed to them, and they charge you $ 60 for each book.

I think they're also connected to the poetry.com people... Which I also read was a scam...

Re: Poe & Wild
This is very good.. I'm sifting through the ones I can find on Bearshare here. She has an interesting voice. I like the tempo also.

I like the slight technic edge.

Just got Fingertips. Not bad, but I got more from the lyrics on paper than the tune. The deeper initial background singing is distracting from the message, for me.

hmmmm... well now you should try "Fly Away" and "Angry Johnny"

I hope it's not a scam. But like every other possibly too good to be true offer I've gotten, I'll investigate heavily. Which is what I did with poetry.com, and all I found was that they're backed by the Better Business Bureau and that they've had an "average to below average" consumer complaint record. And the way I see it, unless they make me pay to have my stuff published, I don't see it as a scam. But I could be way off, maybe you know something I don't about these dealies.

Morgan - I've got them both now. Listening. Must confess Fly Away envokes better feelings than Angry Johnny. Of course, tunes that remind of The Burning Bed and Fatal Attraction do tend to do that. (twitch)
