Haunted by OccasionWe are essentially pragmatic,  keeping only the words the world shows us  that we need.   
Most of us have little use  for derivative  and I am haunted by occasion.   
It was a pretty word before the passing:  We are gathered here on this joyous occasion…  or the word itself, a world of opportunity:  I’d never before had occasion to notice the luster of her hair…   
But the word changed  and the world of opportunity with it.  Some thrive on dualities, others die by distinctions:  We are gathered here on the occasion of her passing…    Haunted by Occasion

ZenAfter years of searching for the answers, I find that my adolescence was not a mistake.  Rather, I have discovered that I had managed to percieve the truth, however obliquely.  It is somewhat bothersome to spend years seeking truth only to find out that one's youthful delusions were, in every sense, accurate.  That the world, finally, is a place of great deeds and vital choices and that each moment was what I had suspected it was:  pivotal.     
I had managed to stray from my early wisdom during my search; I had found methods for self-delusion.  Embracing routine, lamenting Zen

Childish 2She's a wrinkled mirror  that reflects every giggling child she meets.  It's not her fault that her antics embarrass you.  This need to make distorted faces and gibberish sounds  is as natural as a thirteen year old's embarrassment  at being seen in public with his mother.   
Berating her would be no use.  Your frustrations are new and unrefined.  While hers,  well lets just say that she  has been putting up with you  for each and more of your thirteen years  and it's hard to know much of patience  when you've yet to wipe an ass not your own.   
Leave her to her p Childish 2

Autumn MimicThere’s the crimson bright blood like  that time I busted my forehead on the cherrywood  coffee table.  And there’s the dark deep burgundy  blood I saw sopped into Mom’s recently dyed curls  while she lay silent on the silver gurney  in a cold room.   
Then there’s the mimic red of this fallen leaf  that shifts from hue to hue, blood to blood,  as the soft serrated edge  opens old wounds. Autumn Mimic

Necrophilia and workshops

Fri May 2, 2008, 1:30 AM
This is an announcement. I just wanted to let those who care know that I've been accepted into a poetry workshop at my university. I'm very excited about this as I've heard that admission is somewhat competitive. It's something I've really wanted to do for a while. The poems I submitted were Of Flame and Fruit, Child's Journey, and Necrophilia. If you've been seeing that last poem go up and down and up and down on my page that's because I just can't manage to get the formatting to correctly display. If anyone has any advice on how I can get a poem with long lines to display properly I'd really appreciate it. I've tried posting it is a .doc a pdf, html, and more so any help would be great. I want it to display in a legible format immediately upon viewing. The best I've managed thus far is to submit it as an image that you can click on to view properly but that's not how people interact with poems on this sight and I don't like the undue effort to see my poem. I'm looking forward to sharing this poem with you guys and getting your feedback. Hopefully we'll chat soon.

Your quote is from Dante, not JFK (who was quoting).

yeah, I used to attribute it to Dante, until I discovered that JFK was erroneously attributing Dante. As far as I can tell, the quote originated with JFK.

Apparently it was more of a reiteration of Dante than a quote: [link]

Yeah, seems better to attribute the quote to JFK. Interesting link. Thanks.

I read your comment on my visual poem "Bare Bones" and couldn't help but hide it for flaming. Of course it's not personal, we're online but it would have stayed if you have simply criticized it, not aggressively told me how to write about a subject you assume I know nothing about.

Cheers

Fair enough. I expected the comment to be hidden and I likely would have done the same. In fact, it probably would have been wiser to send a note than post a comment.

As clarification, I wasn't trying to tell you how to write about this particular subject so much as expressing the view that artists have a unique place in society and an obligation to acknowledge complexity when we choose to deal in complex topics/issues.
