    Such a gentle and beautiful dedication of words, I am glad this is a hymn you sing.

    • ty Oloriel and for the word hymn, i need to use the beautiful word soon.

      i promised ikarus i would ty for bringing us together with the co-write poem and the link, what a wonderful poet. i jumped head first into the ‘ice cream’ conversation yesterday…hope i didn’t shock him too much.:-) it’s just that ice cream, well you know…..

      • oh good, and yes i do know very well…it’s what i am used to having on the sites i once wrote for…long threads of conversation….like talking everyday to your bestie 🙂

    Just wondering, I know that in poetry like in all other types of writing there are Haikus and more other things, so do you just with the flow or do you write in a very deliberate way in order for your poetry to fit one of the “genres” if that´s what they are called. I´m asking this because the other day I was reading another blog, also poetry, it was some sort of writing of Japanese poetry, and the rules where exhausting.

    • i agree, at least to this novice the rules get in between my heart and my words…if you read ::::hum’:::: this is part of what i was expressing there.

      i’m an ex painter, i also have some design and architectural training and the philosophy i create by is Form Follows Function….’it’ becomes what you are trying to express, ‘it’ is secondary to the truth in the message.

      so when i begin writing i have no preconcieved idea about the form, i simply let the words take me where they need to go. i start with a title, an image and a song to write by and somehow the words take care of themselves.

      it’s just my quirky way

      • charlypriest says:

        No quirky way, I like your philosophy Form Follows Function, when I write like in the blog I usually don´t edit, when I most like writing is when I just let the story flow, even though a lot of the times it doesn´t make sense, so I don´t send them to literary magazines. I keep the blog separate from my free happy writing and from the like-pain in the but writing I´ll submit to the magazines. But when I most enjoy the process is when I´m writing not for publishing but for the love of doing it even though it´s crap, In my mind I still think is the best thing humanity has ever seen,probably because I enjoyed so much the process.

      • But when I most enjoy the process is when I´m writing not for publishing but for the love of doing yes, and that was the primary message in ‘hum’…i so agree with what you said, and it’s why i have no expectations, i write for the pure joy of it, to express how i feel, to hopefully spark a chord and connect with friends like you. and now i will apologize for not visiting your blog and reading your words, expect me there soon…….ty brother::::enjoy:::::

        No apologies I just write about some crazy stuff in the blog, don´t care too much about followers,I just started getting back to writing after ten year hiatus and discovering the blogging world and social media. That´s why I enjoy reading all kinds of blogs, get as much knowledge as I can in the least amount of time possible…if that´s possible.

  3. Your ‘quirky’ way works 🙂 I like the breakdown, the singular words, gives time for the reader to reflect. x

    • ty very much, my quirky way way works for me and that’s all i can ask really. i have used this very sparse ‘voice’ when i have i one very specific message to convey, i try and strip away every word that is not essential in this case, the last sentence. i’m so loking forward to more of your poetry in your new space……..

      • why thank you – tis a good space to be {hugs}

      • you are most welcome. *smiling*

      • so sorry, i just woke up, it’s midnight here and the java is just beginning to kick in after a much needed sleep after work. thank you for finding this poem. i realized after reading the recent post of yours, that we are exactly the same age. that it took 48 years to find Scout, feel as though i was a competent and suuportive father, and finally becoming creative again….writing poetry was the final piece of the puzzle.

        so i guee what i’m saying, is this poem was a very long time in the making.
        {{{ h u g s }}] and *smiles* to you, my friend.
